THIRD SERIES. VOL. X.

THE TU8CULAN SCHOOL OR SOCIETY OF NORWICH
(toI. ix., p. 180).

Mr. G. W. G. Barnard of Norwich has in his possession the first
volume of the Proceedings of this Society, which records its objects
and discussions for a period of six months. It is a 4to. book bound
in green vellum, the paper bearing as part of its watermark the name
“J. Coles.” The first page begins “Willm. Ward, Willm. Firth,
John Watson, Willm. Watson, and John Pitchford being assembled
at the house of John Watson, Jan. 2nd, 1793, it was unanimously
resolved to organize themselves into a Society which, actuated by those
principles of free Enquiry which give birth to the noblest energies of
which the human mind is capable — principles alike calculated to
encourage the projecting spirit of the Mechanic, to stimulate the
indefatigable investigations of the Philosopher — agree to be subject
^ to such regulations as may be thought necessary to attain a methodical
and determinate system of Discussion.

^ ” And because this Society are of opinion that it is the attribute

^ of weak and timid minds to pursue a partial and hesitating mode of
Enquiry, subject to the restraints of religious prejudice, of political
prepossession, and being determined to pursue what may appear to
? them to be the Truth, however it may clash with received Opinions,
^ they come to the Resolution of admitting a free and unlimited
e discussion of every subject proposed by any member.

'• “And further, because this Society wish to avoid the incon¬
veniences inseparable from the ordinary mode of conversation, whether
arising from the restraint of a partial and mixed company, or from
the desultory and inconclusive manner in which questions are usually
> agitated, submit themselves, and expect future members to conform,
to the regulations which follow.”

THE EAST ANGLIAN ; OR,

The Rules enjoin that the Society shall be called the Tusculan
School ; that a moderator be appointed to superintend each evening’s
debate, the office falling to each member in rotation ; that a meeting
be lield every Wednesday afternoon, at the house of tbe moderator for
the day, at six o'clock, absent members to forfeit one shilling ; that
the book in which the proceedings are to be entered shall be called
the Tusculanuin. John Pitchford was appointed Secretary, and the
first list of members comprises the names of William Firth, William
Watson, John Watson, W. Ward (seceded May Ist, 1803), Ollyett
Woodlioiise, Charles Marsh, Sami. C. Barnard; and the following
also joined the same year — Edward Dowling, jun., John Stuart Taylor,
Charles Rogers Bund, William Taylor, John Houghton, Augustine
Beevor, and Edward Rigby. Among the visitors or members for a
short time only were Robert and John Woodhouse, James Alderson,
Pendlelmry Houghton, John Fransham, Henry Kett, Hart, Linley,
and Marsh, sen.

A John Pitchford was of Tom bland and 26, St. Giles’ Broad
Street, surgeon, and he had a sou John, who was educated at St. Omer.
This son is said, in The Gurneys of Earlham, to have been an intimate
friend of that family, and that he afterwards carried on chemical
works at Bow. There was a firm of Firth and Watson, merchants, at
No. 68. Gildengate. A William Firth was >teward of Norwich in
1803. William Ward, gent., lived at Eaton. A John Watson lived
at No. 1, St. Swithin’s Lane, and this ma)’ be the house in which the
Society started. A John Watson was the responsible clerk at the
Norwich Post Office, under Mr. Elisha De Hague. Charles Marsh
was treasurer to the Bethel Hospital. Samuel C. Barnard was jiossibly
one of the firm of merchants at 1 9, Botolph Street, or at 9, Muspole
Street. James Alder^on was surgeon, at No. 39, St. George Colegate,
Norwich, dying there in 18-18 ; while another of the same name was a
schoolmaster, at No. 2, Unthank’s Court, Rampant Horse Lane.
Ollyett Woodhouse was of the Temple, Barrister-at-Law, Judge
Advocate in Bombay, his mother being si-ster to Robert Alderson,
Esq , Recorder of Norwich. Dr. Edward Rigby, surgeon, was Mayor
in 1805. Pendlebury Houghton was minister of the Octagon Chapel.
John Fransham’s epitaph is last fading from the northern buttress of
St. John Maddermarket Church tower. Linley or Lindle}’ is spelt both
ways in the Proceedings, so that it might be either a Rev. Mr. Linley,
a resident clergyman at that time ; or George Lindlej’ of the Nursery,
( atton, ancestor of Lord Lindley. One lady, Sarah Marsh, occasion*
ally took part in the discussions.

The book contains reports of the discussions, either very fully
reported or long digests; some of the subjects being — “Would the
inclosing of Waste Lands be beneficial to the Poor of the Country?” ;
“Which is the most incompatible with the happiness of a Country —
Irreligion or Superstition ? ” ; “ Whether matter and mind be coeval ?
if not, which is of greater antiquity?”; “After Colonies are in a
productive state, is it not the Interest of the Mother Country to leave
them entirely at their own disposal?”; “Is the clerical profession
consistent with morality?”; “Do animals jiossess reason, and will

NOX£S A^'U QUiailES, ETC. 3

they, equally with man, exist in a future state ? ” ; “ Is suicide either
criminal or immoral?” Seventeen meetings were held in the time
covered by the book, and the foregoing list of subjects gives one an
idea that this discussion Society had much courage to take up such
extreme topics. Mr. Firth was the greatest extremist, his utterances
being of a very forcible nature. At the close of each discussion a vote
was taken, and the names are recorded as being for or against the
opener’s proposition.

The Society or School went on for some time, and there must have
been several minute books recording the after proceedings, which
are probably in private possession. It would be interesting to learn
from them when and how the Society foundered. A E R

Another Yeoman Brass (vol. viii. p. 367). — The Rev. E. Farrer,
Rector of Hinderclay, has given me a rubbing of a brass now
(13 Nov., 1902) lying on the floor of the nave of Cavenham Church,
Suffolk, affixed to its slab of blue stone. It measures 1 by 4 inches,
and bears the following inscription : —

Here l^eth bnr^eh the bohge of John

Bell Acre. — In the vestry at Hinderclay Church, Suffolk, hangs
a printed terrier of 14 Dec., 1870. The glebe includes “ One piece of

Land, called ‘Bell Acre,’ abutting on the Churchyard” . “Two

bell ropes yearly to be found out of this piece.” C. P.

Folk-lore: Sympathetic Cure. — According to a local news¬
paper of 13th Nov., 1902, an ancient superstition is still current in
Essex. At the Essex Autumn Assizes, opened at Chelmsford on
12th Nov., a man was prosecuted for stabbing another man through
the fingers and on the arm with a knife, at Great Clacton, “ and
according to a curious superstition in the district, it was believed as
necessary for the recovery of the wound that the knife should be
greased and laid across the bed whereon the prosecutor [stabbed with
the knife] lay. Tliis was done, and it certainly happened that no
serious results followed.

Scott alludes to this mode of cure in “ The Lay of the Last
Minstrel,” canto 3, stanza 23, where the wounded Deloraine is tended
by the Lady of Branksome Tower : —

“ But she has ta’en the broken lance.

And wash’d it from the clotted gore.

And salved the splinter o’er and o’er.

William of Deloraine, in trance,

Whene’er she turn’d it round and round.

Twisted as if she gall’d his wound.”

Scott added some interesting notes in his appendix to the poem.

FOWLMERE NOTES.— SOME FORGOTTEN WAYS.

There are still some ways in the parish almost wholly obliterated
and forgotten, wliich deserve attention. They are all marked on the
Enclosure Award Map, and are dimly remembered by some old
inhabitants : otherwise, the plough has done its work, and the coming
generation will know nothing about them. Of these, two crossed the
Brauditch at the same point, some quarter-mile distant from the head
of the old Moor. This probably connotes that one was much more
recent than the other, and crossed the ditch, at the passage already
made by the other through its steep vallum. One of them is, if not
Roman, at least ancient. This we will consider first.

(1) The “Old Walden Way.”

So-called on Enclosure Map. This way, entering the parish at
the point above indicated, passed south-eastwards round the head of
the little “ Moor,” formed by Fowlmere brook in Fowlmere dene. As
it rose to the further Crowley hills it bore more easterly, and crossed old
Norwich Way (Icknield Streef) close to the Harborough Hill tumulus,
ill sight of Chrishall Grange. Along this stretch it is quite obliterated,
but its course is preserved by the boundary of the parish from the
Heydon junction along the Chrishall frontier. It then passed, as the
present road, along the Grange Spinney into Diixford parish. It
possibly thereafter bifurcated, one branch, possibly the main, going
throiiuh Ickleton to Stump Cross, and so to Walden ; the other,
possibly by Strethall and Littlebury to the same town. The fact that
it was chosen as a boundary line for the parish, sufficiently indicates
its antiquity. If, as I believe, it, or a branch of it, passed through
Ickleton. some explanation is afforded of the confusion as to Icknield
Way, for which its line would be easily mistaken. At any rate,
whether it so passed, chiefly or in part, it is apparently the road which
Babington notes as coming from Ickleton to Stump Cross.* The fact
that it went to Walden, a connecting link and probable station in
touch with {’olchester and Chelmsford, suggests this road as a Roman
military way. This suggestion is corroborated by the fact that its
extension to the west of Branditch brings it up against the Roman
camp, which Beldam visited and described, f on the Port Way at
Melbourn. This camp, from Beldam’s description, must have been a
large one; and its situation only half-a-mile from Branditch. and
commanding the Ashwell Street, which skirted it, as now the Port
Way, with its ford acrttss our “river” near the mill, not only marks
its importance, but suggests that it may even have been the site of
Ostorius Scapula’s camp on the eve of his victory over the Iceni.

My own conclusions, as set forth in previous papers, are : —

1. That the Britith way was Ashwell Street.

2. That Ashwell Street crossed our river at the mill.

3. That it was not protected by a vallum, unless the old baulk
100 yards within the “river” boundary were such.

XOT*9 AND QUERIES, ETC.

4. That Braiiditch, from the Moor head to Heydon Hill, was not
pierced by any Britith road, but presented a solid front.

5. That the Icknield Street was the Roman road, and was made
subsequent to the conquest of the Iceni by the Romans.

6. That the British inhabitants did not have villages on the duns
or downs, but resided in the “round moats.” as seen to-day at Shepreth
and Fowlmere. If these conclusions be correct, then Ostorius Scapula
had no other line of advance open, eastward of the Chilterns, save
Ashwell Street, or the open downs.

Presuming that he chose Ashwell Street as being the “road,” and
commanding a water supply such as could not be found on the chalk
downs, he would find himself confronted by — (i) the river; (2) the
moor; (3) on his right flank the steep and uncompromising rampart
of Branditch ; (4) on his left flank the swampy ground on the river
bank, right down to the Rhea. He would naturally camp and entrench
himself while refreshing his troops, wearied by his forced marches,
and to view the disposition of the enemy. At the same time, he would
endeavour to conceal his own nrovements from the enemy. No better
place than the site of this Melbourn camp could be desired. It was
sufficiently far back to allow of circumventing the Moor on firm ground ;
sufficiently near the ford to allow of his hurling his forces upon it ;
and sufficiently screened from the enemy, by a slight elevation of the
ground, to allow of his making his own dispositions unobserved. His
infantry would be, no doubt, detached to make the attack against
Bran-ditch on his right flank. The Moor and the left-flank swamps
would need no disposition of his troops, save that of covering parties
to guard against the onset of his amphibious enemy. His cavalry
assault would be on the ford.

The site of the battle is unknown, and consequently there are
diversities of opinions as to the locality, some inclining to Brent or
Pampisford Ditch, because it is the shortest ; others to Fleam Dyke,
as being the penultimate, and the “ hedging in ” of the enemy by their
own defences necessitates, on the dyke theory, one other in their rear.
The obliterated Bran-ditch, with its puludine extensions, is scarcely
considered in the discussion. It will, however, be allowed, I think,
that this forgotten ford on Ashwell Street can put in a claim for con¬
sideration. It is doubtful, if any of the ditches be the scene, whether
a better case can be made out for any other locality. I throw out
this as no more than a bare possibility : but at least the circumstances
admirably tally with and illustrate the Annals of Tacitus, brief and
crabbed as they are : —

Hisque [7wni‘«] auctorihus circxmjeetce nationes locum pugna delegere
septum aggresti aggere. [Bran-ditch, with its one, two, or more field
banks, answers this as well as any other.]

et aditu angusfn, ne perutus equiti foret. ['I’he ford, flanked by
swamps, is a narrow entrance, more probable, though not quite so dis¬
advantageous for cavalry as would be a gateway in a vallum. And it
would give Ostorius, who had no chariots, just the advantage he
required.]

in front of the long vallum, would essay the ford : while the infantry

tunc data tigno perfringunt aggerem. [If the cavalry forced the
ford, and so turned the flank of the enemy, the infantry, no matter
how “ steep ” the ditch and vallum, would be relieved of pressure, and
so be able to scale the rampart. The tigno data seems to imply au
extended line.]

tuitque elautlrit impeditos turhant. atque illi .... ohieptit effugiis,
multa et elara facinora fecere. [The usual opinion is that the fugitives
were hedged in by the dykes in their rear. Now, Brent-ditch is some
5^ miles, as the crow flies, from Bran-ditch ; Fleam Dyke some 4^
miles beyond ; and the Devil’s Dyke about 6^^ miles beyond that. In
these intervals the cavalry would have ridden down flying footmen
long before they reached the next barrier, and those who were not so
ridden down need not have jammed themselves through the gateways,
but could have scrambled up the glacis to their friends on the tup ;
for, if caught by cavalry on the edge of the fosse, an active Briton,
unless the cavalry were armed with bows and arrows, could soon have
placed himself out of reach of danger. It seems to me more reason¬
able that those tuit claustrit impediti .... ohseptit ejjugiit were not
baffled by any rearward agger aggrettis, but by the ramparts of their
“ round moats,” to which they would, from their propinquity, more
readily betake themselves. These camps, probably fortified by a
stockade on the top of the vallum, * would compel a congestion of
fugitives in the gateways. Possibly Tacitus himself suggests such
contingency by the use of the word clauttra, which was a military
word connoting the key of a position ]

“ But no traces of the battle, no relics of the slaughter are known.”
That argument, of course, acts as much against the venue of any of
the dykes as against this. But, again, we may look at facts. From
Bran to Devil’s Ditch the ground, with the apparent exception of part
of Duxford Field, has been enclosed only within the last century.
Yet, although chalk is a great preservative of remains, none have been
turned up by the plough. In the locality which I suggest as possible,
there was the Great Moor with its extended swamps, as well as the
swamps along Fowlmere brook, only half-a-mile beyond, to swallow the
dead and to rot the relics of battle. Further, with small exceptions,!
the scene of conflict, if it were fought here, has unbroken surface ;
the greater part of the Moor, though drained, is uncultivated ; from
the Moor to the “round moats’’ lies a stretch of immemorial pasture.
This was undoubtedly the pratum of Domesday : and, if then, no
doubt it was pasture through most, or all, of the Saxon occupation.
There are possibilities, I can call them no more, under our Fowlmere
turf. The other ways must be explored another time.

t One of these exceptions, a patch of ground on the edge of the Moor and Copt
Hill, yielded, a few years ago, a number of bones, “apparently human leg bones ”
the tenant told me. Further, a top of Farthing (Fawdon) Hill is a trench of darker
mould than that of the field. Some years ago it was tested by the owner for a short
distance. A few bits of bone were, I understand, discovered ; nothing else.

SOME SUFFOLK CHURCH NOTES. No. LI.

St. Mary at the Tower, Ipswich.

This, the principal church in the town, was almost entirely rebuilt
about 1870 in a handsome and costly manner, at the expense of O. C.
E. Bacon,' Esq., an Ipswich banker, who lies buried under a handsome
tomb on the north side of the churchyard.

It now comprises chancel with aisles, and north vestry, clerestoried
nave, aisles, and lofty south-west tower, surmounted by a handsome
spire. The tower contains a good peal of twelve bells, and its lowest
storj’ forms the principal entrance to the building, though there is a
richly-carved western doorway to the nave.

Very little of the old work remains, except the arcnding of the
aisles, and the architectural style is mainly Perpendicular, with some
admixture of Decorated. The chancel is enclosed by a modern carved
oak rood-screen and double parcloses, part of the latter being ancient,
and in them the old stalls with carved miserere* have been refixed.
The walls of the sacrarium are panelled with carved oak, and the
reredos is a picture of the Crucifixion with adoring angels, all set in
richly carved canopy work, painted and gilt. The stone canopies of
the sedilia on the south have also been coloured to harmonize. There
is a handsomely-carved octa^^onal oak pulpit, attributed to Grinling
Gibbons, on the north side of the nave. Near the tower doorway
stands the ancient Perpendicular stone font, with panels sunk in its
eight sides, each having a carved lion passant, the mouldings being
adorned with little quartrefoils. At the angles of the bowl are little
pinnacles rising from male and female heads sculptured at the lower
corners, the underside being carved with grapes and foliage. Lions
sejant are placed at four corners of the shaft, with pinnacled buttresses
between. The font is raised on three steps, the risers of two of them
panelled with quatrefoils, and it is furnished with a crocheted
canopied cover.

Two bench ends at the west ei>d of the church have ancient carvings
at their elbows — two dragon-like creatures and two seated figures of
tonsured clerics vested in alb and dalmatic, reading from books open
upon their knees.

There is an old carved chest in the church, behind the font, now
used to contain the bread for a parish dole On the ends of the
modern Corporation benches are carved the borough crest and
supporters, and the Ipswich arms are emblazoned on a shield below
the wrought-iron holders for the mace, &c.

Well-intentioned as the work of “ restoration ” in this church has
been, one could wish that it had been carried out in a less sweeping
manner. Scarcely a monument remains in its original place, and
almost all the ledger slabs have been cast out into the churchyard, to
be replaced by a tile pavement— even the brasses have been relaid or
fastened in the walls.

There are four stones in the chancel whose brasses may be thus
described : —

1. A notary {e. 1475, engraved in Boutell’s Monumental Brasses),

8

THB EAST ANQLIAM ; OR.

He is in a gown that reaches nearly to the ankle, the sleeves loose,
and his hands joined in prayer. The gown is confined at the waist by
a belt, from which on his right side are suspended his pencase and
ink bottle. A long scarf fastened at his left shoulder, and reaching
in front nearly to the ground, is attached to a stiff-looking roundle of
cloth on the shoulder, from which the cloth hood hung down behind.
He is clean shaven, and the hair removed from the forehead level
with the ears in a semicircle, while it is cropped all round just below
the ears. On his breast is a scroll ; —

Eeposita est hec spes mea i sinu meo
Sea trinitas vn’de’ miserere mei.

He wears low shoes laced on the inside, and stands amid scattered
human bones.

2. A man with his two wives (c. 1500). He is in a gown
reaching to his feet, with wide border of fur in front, and a broad
edging of the same on his very full sleeves. His face is shaven, and
his hair, parted in the middle, is cut straight across the forehead, aud
falls nearly to the shoulders. His hands are in prayer, showing a
tight sleeve at the wrist, and his shoes are broad-toed.

His wives, on each side, are turned inwards toward him, and are
habited exactly alike, in dresses fitting close to the body, but with
ample skirts arranged in folds around their feet with a narrow fur
bordering. Deep cuffs of the same material are reflexed upon their
closely-cut sleeves. Each has a loose girdle fastened with three rose¬
shaped clasps, from which a pendant hangs by a long double chain.
They wear the kennel headgear, with long lappets reaching to the
shoulders. Hands in prayer.

(The broken matrix of this brass in the north churchyard shows
that it had a border inscription, and two shields in the top corners of
the stone).

3. A lady with her two husbands and family. She stands in a
prayerful attitude in the centre, robed in a plain gown with tight
sleeves and fur cuffs, a girdle round her waist, one end of which,
passed through a large buckle and embellished with an ornamental
chape, hangs nearly to the ground. She wears a neat head-dress of
folded drapery, reaching to the shoulder. From her mouth proceeds
a prayer "scroll : — Sps sete deus miserere nobis.

Her first husband, a notary, on her left hand, wears a long wide¬
sleeved gown reaching to his heels, lined and collared with fur. From
the left side of his belt hang his penner aud inkpot, and on the other
side his gipsire is attached. His face is shaven, and his hair brushed
down and cut across the forehead, descending at the sides to his
shoulders. The figure is turned somewhat inward towards his wife,
his hands in prayer. The shoes are large aud broad. His prayer is : —
Fili redemtor mudi . s.

The second husband’s figure is very similar, but it is, of course,
turned in the opposite direction. His gown sleeves are lined and
bordered with fur, and appear to be slit in the upper arm. He wears
simply a gipsire suspended at his belt in front. His ejaculatory
scroll is Seta trinitas vnus d .

NOTES AND QUERIES, ETC.

Below the figure runs this inscription, in Gothic type : —

Of youre charite pray for the soull of Alys late the wyfe of
Thomas Baldry Marchaut sumtyme | the wyfe of Master Robert
Wymbyll Notari which Alys decessid the iiij"' day of August the
yere of oure | Ijord one thoussand ccccc vj on whose soul ihu haue
mercy and on all cristin soullis amen. |

Under the lady are ranged a group of five daughters, standing
in prayer arranged like their mother, but without girdles, four bare¬
headed with hair unbound, and the eldest in a stiflF “ penthouse ” head¬
dress ; their faces towards their four brothers, who are engraved on a
separate plate beneath Robert Wymbyll. Like their father they wear
long gowns, but without belt and appendages. Below Baldry’s figure
is another plate, with the arms of the Mercer' » Company impaling his
own merchant’s mark.

4. A man and two wives (c. 1518) standing upon a mutilated
bracket. Ue is in a long wide gown with capacious sleeves, having
openings in the upper arm. A gipsire or purse hangs from his waist
in front, and his low shoes have no heels, and are fastened by a strap
across the instep. He is shaven, and wears his hair reaching to the
shoulders.

The wife on his right side is habited in a gown cut close to the
body, but with amply folded skirts. Her bodice is cut square at the
neck and laced up the front, the elbows are set out from the body, the
wrists finished off with wide cuffs. Her waist is encircled by a girdle
of some pliable material fastened in front with a trefoil clasp, from
which hangs a pincushiou (perhaps a pomander box) of circular form.
Her head is lost.

The other wife, a similar figure, also turned inward towards her
husband, has her bodice not laced, but fastened up the front. Her
girdle is apparently of engraved metal, and has an ornamental lozenge¬
shaped clasp enclosing a quatrefoil. She wears a “ penthouse” hood
witli long lappets, and a large embroidered caul behind.

Ill the centre of the ciisped bracket, on which they stand, is a
circle containing a quatrefoil, within which is a shield displaying a
merchant’s mark. The lower part of the bracket is lost, but it rose
from an inscription plate, now also lost, upon which were plates still
remaining. On the right hand are two sons dressed like their father,
save for tiieir girdle and purse, the younger with hands raised, but
not joined. On the other plate are three daughters, habited like the
ladies, standing on a tiled pavement. Their girdle pendants are all of
different patterns, and the elder girl wears a pedimental head-dress.
The next has her hair loose, flowing down her back, with no covering
to be seen, while the youngest wears a short hood without any lappets
over her streaming hair, and her hands are raised, but not joined, in
devotion. At the top of the stone is a plate with a different rendering
of the Ipswich arms from tliat usually seen, thus : — three lions passant,
dimidiated with three hulls of ships, as in the arms of Winehelsea.
This is believed to be the monument of Thomas Urayles, merchant,
and his brass was originally on the same stone (before mentioned as
being now in the churchyard), side by side with Wymbyll’s.

THE EAST ANGLIAN; OK,

There appears to have been a close intimacy, or perhaps relation- y«
ship between the two families, as Robert Wymbyll the notary, his 1

wife Alice and her boys, especially her son John, are mentioned in the
will of John, father of Thomas Drayles. ^

In 1899 the writer restored to this church a small brass shield (a y<

cross compony impaling a saltire) that he obtained from a curiosity
shop in Norwich, and which he had reason to suppose came originally
from St. Mary le Tower, on the understanding that it should be
replaced in the church. With it was also a broken half-shield of
later date.

Act of Parliament for the express purpose of taking an exact numerical account of

and Chapter to appoint him Vicar, but he was not so appointed.

1811. The churchwardens were authorised to take counsel’s opinion as to
proceeding against Mr. William Wells for the recovery of his rent of the Mill Close.
Mr. Henry Francis was elected Vestry Clerk.

1811. An Act of Parliament having been passed to compel each parish to
contribute men to the liocal Militia, or to pay sulwtitutes, and the number for
this parish being 31, it was agreed to levy a rate of 12 pence in the £, fur the
payment of the substitutes ; but afterwards it was determined that as some were
personally liable to serve (on account of being able bodied, &c.), they should pay
fur the exemption, and 62 persons paid 10*. each, among whom were 8 ladies.
Afterwards it was found that the cost of 31 substitutes was £72. 17*., and a rate of
It. in the £ was levied on the rental of the parish.

1812. A lease of the land at Thuxton was granted to Daniel Reynolds for
twelve years, at the yearly rent of £6, there being just three acres, then lately

THE EAST AHOLIAK; OR,

1815. £70 was raised and sent to the County Treasurer of the Fund for the
Relief of the Sufferers in the Battle of Waterloo. In February and March fifty
chaldrons of coals were sold to the poor of the parish at It. per bushel, a parishioner
having given £25 in aid (Hudson Gurney, Esq., was the donor). Mrs. Rebecca
Harward also left a legacy of £20 to be distribute the next year. A rate of 3d. in
the £ was made to defray the expenses of paying five men for the Local Militia.

1816. Sixty-eight housekeepers of the parish of St. Stephen offered their
personal services to the magistrates to preserve the peace.

And a special vote of thanks was given Mr. George Stacy for his vigilant
conduct as churchwarden. There had Wn an outrage in the churchyard, and the
offenders were directed to pay £10 and all expenses, and sign a proper acknowledg¬
ment of their fault, in order that the same might be inserted in the provincial
papers. William Reeve, gardener, was directed to pay 6d. per year for the use of a
gateway into the churchyard. Others having gardens are directed not to throw
rubbish into the churchyard. loiter in same }'ear £5 was accepted from the per¬
petrators of the outrage, they being poor. April 2nd of the same year it was agreed
that the allowances for the dinner on Easter Monday and for the auditor’s supper
be abolished ; and that the superintendent of the watch in this parish be discharged.
Also in the same year it was resolved to oppose a new valuation of property proposed
to be made by the Court of Guardians, which was described as being a most
improper attempt.

1818. Benjamin Garthon, worstead weaver, was elected sexton in the room of
John Cobb.

1820. On Tuesday, the 9th of May, being Rogation Week, the vicar, church¬
wardens, and six others proceeded from the vestry and went the bounds of the
parish. A faculty was procured for blocking up the west door, putting a window
in its place, and placing new seats in the space under the organ loft. The assess¬
ment question also came up again, the churchwardens, Charles Bedford, jun., and
R. Stebbing, together with .Adam Taylor* and John Norgate, were appointed to attest
the valuation ; and on the 2nd October the new assessment for the relief of the poor
was adopted by the vestry, and Messrs. Saver, Jephs, Yallop, Davey, and Sayer
were declared owners of property assessed at an increase of £123 rental.

advanced to him by the parish in 1806.

1823. It was agreed to give Mr. English, the singers, and the organist, a
g^tuity of £8. 8s. between them. It was also agreed to obtain a faculty to allot
the seats in the church so ns to meet the want of sittings then needed for the
parishioners. At another meeting it was resolved not to alter the pews ; directions
were given to the sexton to shew persons into all pews not occupied after the
Psalter was read ; and that all locks and bars to pews should be removed.

1824. An indictment was preferred against the parish for a “ certain ruinous
and defective highway in the said parish.” And at the Quarter Sessions held on
the 19th October it was determine that St. Stephen’s Back Street was a private
street, and not a highway, and that the parish was not liable to repair it. The
inhabitants of the said street must make their own repairs.

1825. John English, turner, was appointed clerk in the room of John English,
his father, deceased.

In-bkead. — On the south wall of the nave of Worlington Church,
Suffolk, is fixed a wooden board, on which are painted particulars of
several “ Benefactions.” The first paragraph runs as follows : —
“Twenty four shillings yearly for ever, by the will of Thomas
Blackerby of Stowmarket, in the County of Suffolk, Esq*’, in 1688, to
buy six loaves of bread weeklj' {the in-hread included) to be distributed
to six poor Protestants that constantly come to cliurch.” What is
“ in-bread ” ?

Perdidge. — Sir Francis Colepepper or Culpepper of Holling-
bourue, Kent, married Joane Perdidge (about 1580?). From them
was descended Elizabeth Freke, who married her cousin Percy Freke
of Bilney, Norfolk (about 1690?). Can Mr. (''harles Partridge, Jun.,
or any other of your readers inform me as to the identity of this Joane
Perdidge ? Her son. Sir Thomas Colepepper, married Elizabeth
Cheney of Sussex. Who was the latter ?

Ralph de Diceto. — In his introduction to the works of Ralph de
Diceto, Bishop Stubbs discusses the origin of the patronymic, and
suggests the name may still lurk in “ some remote Shropshire or Essex
Manor.” Diss in Norfolk is improbable, as it appears in Domesday
book as Dice, and is not known to be latinized like Dicetum. Can
anyone suggest the place ? Biden.

Bouen-bridge (vol. ix., p. 355). — There can be no doubt as to the
identity of the place. It was the bridge over the Linton bourn, on the
Newmarket road. Ogilvie’s Britannia marks “ Bum-bridge,” and the
Eoyston deviation of the road is always styled “the Bourabridge
road.” The village of Bourn, far away on the north-west, is* the
source of a brook called “ Bourn-brook ” : but its only bridge of con¬
sequence is Lori's Bridge, which gives its name to the L.N.W.E.
railway station. The cottages by Bourn-bridge are said to be built of
the materials of the old inn, the bad reputation of which caused its

Barrington of Great Bentley, Essex, and Henry Barrington,
M.P. FOR Colchester (vol. ix., p. 48). — I have now discovered that i
the Henry Harrington of Great Bentley, referred to in my query, was 1 1
the son of William Bentley of Tendring, 3’eoman (will proved i |
25 April, 1645, Arch. Colchester), and the grandson of Robert Bentley | '
of St. Osyth, “Hmebnrner” (will proved 13 Nov., 1597, Com. of I
London for Essex and Herts). The relationship (if an)’) between the
M.P. and the Great Bentley family must therefore have been rather
remote, hut it is perhaps worthy of notice that Robert Bentley of
St. Osvth had, amongst other children, a son named Henry.

I have found truces of other families of the name living at Orsett
and Maldon {circa 1530 — 1630). S

Jack's Pit (vol. ix., pp. 356, 388). — In the great pasture which, j
before Norwich was walled in, stretched to the south from Ber Street
to Eaton, there were, it is evident, many depressions or holes or ponds,
in which water could be found all the year round. Of these, ‘ Beare’s j

Pond,” next Newmarket Road, is disappearing ; another in the meadow
facing the Grove, on Ipswich Road, is the best specimen now existing,
while a considerable pond near St. Stephen's Gates dried up nearly a
century ago. Though Jack’s Pit disappeared before any of these, it i
was, from its proximity to the city, of greater consequence. Situate
by the side of a road which led to the Swine Market, in early days, it [
enjoyed a clean existence, but as the population grew it gradually lost t j
that condition ; and there are some who think it got its name — “ Jack ” I !
or “Jake” — from the rubbish which accumulated in it, and made it an j
eyesore. Others invested the name with something less prosaic, and ;
imagined that “Jake” was the name of an unfortunate who spent j
most of his time on its borders, or was drowned in it, though it must
have been long ago since there was sufficient water in it to drown a |
person. A. E. R. j

FOWLMERE NOTES.— SOME FORGOTTEN WATS.

(2) Roystow Jomr Wat.

When speaking of the Round Moat I described its approach by
Lynch Lane. That lane still exists. Having crossed the brook to the
hither side, at a point between the Round Moat and Crow’s Parlour,
it bifurcated. The right-hand branch remains to-day as Chapel Lane.
The left-hand branch passed southerly for a short distance, and was
called Ryecroft Lane — idiomatically, “ Rye-cro’es ” — and can still be
traced by the line of trees through the meadow. Then, across the
top of Dodd’s Close, it swung at right-angles to the right, coining out

IIM

20

THE BAST ANOUAN; OK,

into London Eoad just where it too bore to the right, at a point where
now is Severah Lane. A quarter-of-a-mile beyond this, at the west
end of “Fowlmere Hedges,” there turned off the road I am now to
speak of — Royttvn Joint W'ay.

I have thus connected this way with the lane, because old folk
tell me that Triplow people, Eoystonward bound, used thus to pass to
the “joint,” without passing;, as now they must, through Fowlmere
village at all. So that the “Eoyston joint,” as they term it, wae
practically a continuation of Eyecroft Lane.

Once it touched the “open field” on Farthing (Fawdon) Hill, the
Joint Way kept straight for the Walden Way gap in Branditch,
forming, as it went, the approach and boundary to the various shotta
and furlongs on either hand. This, and not any modern newfangle-
ness, was the Royston Way of the old Field-hook (1639). That which,
in consequence of modern connections, we latter-day folk weakly call
the Eoyston Eoad, was then, as it really is still, London Way ; of
which, more anon.

Having crossed Branditch, it rose the slopes of Lord Braybrooke’s
“ Five Barrowfield,” in sight of Melboum village. From this point
there is the prettiest view of Fowlmere parish that I know. The
gradient of the road was far easier than that of the present road over
Burloe’s Hill, and ahead Eoyston is seen snugly nestling below. It
is matter for regret that turnpike exigencies closed our Joint Way for
ever and a day. The crest of the ridge with its five harrows lay on
the left. If King James ever came a hawking on the Great Moor,
this must have been bis most direct route.

Of the two ways crossing Branditch at the same point, which was
the older ? As I cannot believe that the British would weaken any
dyke by piercing it with a road, I am disposed to say that the Eoman
Walden Way is the more ancient. I am disposed to regard access to
the Shotts, on either hand, as the prime cause'bf Eoyston Joint, and
if the Barrows are assumed as evidence to the contrary, there are
lanes thitherward from Melboum which nearly approached them. If
any certainty is to he obtained, the spade must reveal it.

(3) Harborough Hill Joint Way.

.This way, starting as our present Chrishall Eoad, from London¬
way, at its right-hand bend, turned off at the present chinch pit, and
bore across the open field, crossing the brook just below its Little
Moor, straight for tiie present outfall of Heydon Eoad into Boura-
bridge Eoad. This. I opine, clearly marks the rising ground on the
right bank of the brook as being Harborough Hill. Here it was
witliin the heath; Triplow Heath as it was called, though well within
Fowlmere parish. It was evidently the road to Heydon.

(4) Chrishall Eoad.

Starting as above mentioned, this road did not lie wholly along
its present course. At present it bears straight on until, close to
Chrishall Grange, it falls into, and follows for some distance, the

XI

NOTES AND QTTEHIE8. ETC.

21

“Old Walden Way.” The old way, where Boumbridge Way inter¬
sects. bore more to the right, apparently up a little dene, by way of
the Heath Farm, and thence apparently straight on into Essex. I say
apparently, for it is impossible to account for the western boundary of
the long Fowlmere fang, which bites into Chrishall, unless it be the
alignment of the old way. Nor, indeed, for the eastern edge of that
fang, unless it be the alignment of an old way, now diverted into the
present road. The parish boundary here is like a W, the midmost
and lower indentation representing Essex, wherein stands Chrishall
Grange. I should imagine these were the old British tracks through
the forest of Essex. It is close to the more westerly that Lord Bray-
brooke found indications of a bronze age smithy.

(5) The Melboxtrn Path.

This, as it crosses Branditch just where the fosse plunges into the
moor, is no doubt the track which liabington mistook for Ashwell
Street. It remains as a small footpath for part of the distance, but
was. in former times, a means of access to the Shotts in Barr Ijane
Field on Farthing (Fawdon) Hill, which it enters by Barr Lane. In
the Field it was known as tbe Finch Way. Beyond Branditch it must
have fallen into Old Walden Way. and so to Melbourn. Old men.
now in Fowlmere, used it in their childhood as the way to the superior
school in Melbourn. It was longer, no doubt, than the way along
Ashwell Street by the mill ; but its point of intersection with Bran¬
ditch seems to me to dispose of any claims Babington made for it as
a pre-Boman way. As will be shown by and by, it may perhaps have
been a prolongation of the Cambridge road.

(6) Bournbridoe Boad.

This is the road from Koyston to Newmarket, falling into Icknield
Way at Boumbridge. Hence its name. Presumably, it was originally
King James’ road from Boyston Palace to that at Newmarket. Ito
course was determined ( 1 ) by desire to avoid Icknield Street, which
was too much to the right ; (2) by the deflection of the latter to cross
the Granta at Widford (now Whittlesford) Bridge. Between the foot
of Burloe’s Hill and the Widford Bridge Boad, the distance would be
barely four miles, of which nearly two miles are direct across t'owl-
mere parish. In this course it skirted the impingement of Triplow
Heath (in this parish) upon the Little Moor of Fowlmere brook.
Probably it was along this road, and therefore, as will be shown in
another paper, through the heart of the Ironsides’ encampment, that
the luckless Charles was haled from Newmarket to Boyston, en route
for Bichmond.

It was, undoubtedly, at this Boumbridge that there stood the
famous, or infamous, hostelry, about which a question was recently
asked in The Ead Anglian. Then the traffic over the bridge was that
of London to Norwich and London to Newmarket. The latter
probably accounts for the bad tone of the place.

22

THS SA8T ANGLIAN ; OR.

THE ROADS INTERSECTING IN THE VILLAGE.

(1) Parsonage, or Moule’s, Lane.

This is but a short loop lane, starting from the main road, opposite
the churchyard gate, and running past the parsonage glebe-house and
garden, and past “Parsonage Close” — a pasture which bore that
name centuries before any part of it was given (1845) as a glebe
meadow — into “Long Lane,” which is now the Shepreth Road.

Its name “Parsonage” is thus of plain derivation. Moule, who
gave it the alternative name, was a resident in the village in the
seventeenth century. I find in the registers only one entry of his
name — “ Henry, son of Henry Moule and Joan his wife, was baptized
October 19, 1662.” Possibly he it was who built or first occupied the
long quasi farm-house that is still standing. The late Rector was of
opinion that the names designated the two portions of this curving
thoroughfare — the one past the parsonage ; the other past this old
homestead.

From its apparent antiquity — from its debouchment from the main
road, being opposite to and only some 200 yards distant from the
vallum gateway of the “Round Moat” — I am of opinion that this
lane is the survival of the ancient outlet therefrom to Ashwell Street
and the exits of “ Long Lane.”

It is worth noting that just by Parsonage Close the lane passes
by what appears to be the ditch and vallum of another “round moat.”
The old folk call it “ the moat.”

(2) Long Lane : the present Shepreth Road.

I have already spoken of the Chrishall Road. I refer to it now
because it seems most probable that it never was, as it now appears to
be, a separate and independent road. It is a moral certainty that it
is the extension of Long Lane — the present Shepreth Road. It is
only since enclosure that this lane has been dignified with the name of
road. “ Lor’ bless you, sir, the water were alius a running down it.
It wor wet as wet could be. You could hardly walk along it.”

This road intersects the main or London road, ad caput villee, at
right angles ; and the whole significance of it has been swallowed up
by the modern importance of the London Road, which from caput villa
to the Chrishall sign-post runs along it, and as it were overlays it.
There are reasons for believing that not the London Road, but this
Long Lane, was once upon a time the important thoroughfare. It
certainly must be a “lane” of such venerable antiquity that the
memory of man runneth not to the contrary.

For along this lane lie many little crofts, farmsteads, and cotter
tenements— some being copyhold; the houses to-day being of con¬
siderable age, to all of which the lane is the frontal boundary. This
applies to the tenements and messuages on either hand of its inter¬
section with London Way. It is also evident that as there was no
natural impediment to the course of London Way straight over the
open field to its point of exit from the parish, it could only have been
the superior importance of Long Lane that caused the barring of this

course by the obstruction of the Manor Farm with its holt, “ gardin,"
and terra bar* (surriying in Bar Lane and Barfield) right athwart the
course.

I am, therefore, of opinion that Long Lane is coeval with, if not
anterior to, the foundation of the manor ; that it was of superior
importance, in primitive times, to London Way ; and, unless 1 am
grievously mistaken, I am of opinion that the Ordnance Map suggests
this importance as the result of the thoroughfare being the track from
Chatteris and the north>west of the fens into Essex vid Chrishall
Grange, where we have seen it as the boundary of the county
(vol. X., p. 4, East Anglian).

(3) London Wat.

Of the relative importance in early times of Long Lane and
London Way enough has been said. With the growth of Cambridge,
Ely, and Lynn, the road grew in importance. The rise of the
University must have done no little to this advancement. Dons and
undergraduates must, term by term, have blackened the road. The
mighty bishops of Ely, often the Cancellarii of the King, must have
ridden along this road with their brilliant retinues. At a later date,
when politics rather than statecraft called his lordship to London, the
episcopal coach and six must have lumbered on its leather braces
through the quiet village street. Events of momentous importance
left their trail along it. William’s squadrons of knights and mer¬
cenaries may perhaps have made their way to the conquest of “ the
Isle,” and “the last of the Saxons” probably passed along this road.
Cranmer, big with the Arragon divorce, must have ridden this way to
his parley with the Cambridge canonists. The Virgin Queen probably
visited the University, to whom she owed her legitimacy and her crown,
by way of this high road ; and by this road it is most likely the haughty
Tudor queen sent to Wisbech Castle the Abbot of Westminster and
the two Bishops of Lincoln as prisoners of State. In the seventeenth
century many a notable man must have passed thereby, although the
fussy and self-important Mr. Pepys seems to be almost the only
chronicler of his journey. He “ lay at the Chequers ” one February
night, I6f^. In the eighteenth century, teste Ogilvie’s Britannia, it
was the stage route to Cambridge, Ely, and Lynn. Old folk in the
village well remember how, prior to the railway, they jodrneyed
through the night to London in the straw of the express waggons.
“Well, sir, if we left Fulmer at har’ past four in the arternoon, we’d
get to London ” (42 miles) “maybe at five o’clock the next morning.”
And^the fare was 5*., besides their food.

Cambridge lies to the north-east nine miles — by the old reckoning

of long miles, six miles distant. The road forms the main street of i

the village, swings round to the left for about a quarter-of-a-mile )

along the line of the Shepreth-Chrishall Eoad, and then, turning to 1

the right along Fowlmere Dene, traverses “ the field ” for two miles, i

where, after crossing Brauditch (“ a green bank called Fulmere bank,” i

says Ogilvie), passtfs out of the parish, and so, fi'd Barley, Barkway, ’

and Braughing to Puckeridge, where it falls into Ermine Street — the t

old North Road.

The road is, I fancy, quite as old as I^ong Lane,* for both in the :
village and in “the field’’ it forms the boundary of copyholds and
furlongs or shotts. For instance, in the village the messuages belong¬
ing to tlie Rectory Manor lie wholly on one side of it, and never
encroach one inch on the other side. In “the field” the shotts abut
upon either hand, thus showing that the road, if not anterior to, is at
least cotemporaneous with the manor and the “open field” system.

This has an important and quite unavoidable significance in determin¬
ing the question whether this was a Roman road or not.

Stiikeley, according to Babington,f says it was a Roman road,
affirming that he “ could discern many traces of it, as particularly
beyond Barley,” and that he “ observed several milestones, particularly
a little beyond Hare Street.” J As, however. Barley and Hare Street
lie well beyond Fowlmere, the learned antiquary's statement has no
bearing upon the road in that parish. Nor need Babington’s assump¬
tion that the Roman road to Cambridge went by Chesterford to
Streetley, Pond Street, and Hare Street to Braughing disturb us.

This road through Fowlmere is either — (1) Pre-Roman, in which case
it may have been used by the Romans; or (2) it is Roman, made
and constructed for military purposes, especially we may suppose to
connect the great camp at Braughing with those at Qrantchester and
Arbury; or (3) it is post-Roman, either Saxon, Danish, or Norman,
or wholly modern.

The answer to the debates of its pre-Roman or post-Roman date
belongs to those who have studied the origin of the manorial system.

As I have shewn, the alignment of the road is indissolubly joined to
the copyhold tenures and the open fields of the folk land. If those
territorial systems were British, then the road must be pre- Roman.

If they were Saxon, then the road must be post-Roman. But I will
add this, that if it be British, then there was a British road driven
through Branditch, just at its weakest point, close to the passage of
the brook. And if the so-called Ickuield Way was also British, then
there was a second road driven through that defence only some half-
mile from the first. That such should be the case 1 cannot bring

* In the Hundred Rolls, 7 Edw. I., 1279, is mentioned one Johanntt ad Pontem ;
which pont is for certain that which carries this road over Fowlmere brook at the
lower end of the village.

t Ancient Cambridgethire, p. 51. He says Stukeley’s statement is in his
Metallic Hut. of Carauttue, vol. li., p. 144.

^ Babington says, “ it is impossible to say what Stukeley’s milestones may
have been. No traces of them now exist.” But Bahingtou disdains to give any
evidence against Stukeley’s assumption, as likewise any in support of his own.

mjself to believe I am, therefore, of opiuiou that the road, ax we
have it, was not pre-Roman ; though of course I do not pretend by
that conclusion to have solved the date of the mam trial and open field
systems. Hut let me add, if in any way the road be British, then it
must have slipped by the Manor Farm along Bar Lane, which aligns
with our main street, and along the Melboum path, and so out into
the field. But then, somewhere, it must have pierced Branditch.
And as Manor Farm does not “give” on to it, I do not think this
merits further consideration.

On the other hand, if the open field system and manorial demesne
be Saxon in origin, it is possible that the road may be Roman, and
that the Saxon surveyors laid out their fields and furlongs with regard
to its frontier. But it seems to me the evidence is against its Roman
origin. The Romans were not the men to consider the poor barley fields
of any British occupiers. If they wanted a road they would make it,
and in the must suitable course. They would for certain have brought
the road out direct from Branditch to the caput villee, on the good firm
ground of Fawdon hillside. Nor, for another reason, does it appear
even necessary for them to have made a road through Fowlmere to
Cambridge. It is quite probable that they had a road thither, to
Arbury, from Braughing, where there was a large and well-known
station ; and it is quite possible that Stukeley rightly identified this
road in the vicinity of Rare Street and Barley. But between the
Hertfordshire Hills and Arbury they had two large camps — one a
noted station to reach — Melbourn and Grantchester. It appears
wholly probable that the Roman road deviated to the left of the
present road, just this side of Barley, where now is a lane, and ran
down to Melboum by the present roadway below Melbourn Grange;
and from Melbourn down through Shepreth, Barrington, and Hasling-
field, along which course lanes, driftways, and village streets appear
in fair alignment, to Grantchester and so to Arbury. This route is
more direct, and I am of opinion better answers the Roman purpose
than any road through Fowlmere and Trumpington.

This I write after having first been fascinated by the assumption
of our London Road being a Roman way. My change of opinion has
been the result of a strenuous endeavour to balance aright the
evidence of facts.

At the risk of self-assertive prosiness, I will hazard just one
other wild surmise. The present road between Fowlmere and Cam¬
bridge I believe to be largely of comparatively modem alignment.
My reasons are briefiy these : —

1. Just after passing the end of Fowlmere village and crossing
Ash well Street, the road, quite unnecessarily for a road over un¬
enclosed country, deviates to the left.

2. In passing Newton, it does not go through it. Newton
stands on de eac, though once it must have been on an important
thoroughfare.

3. It again deviates to the left, leaving Hauxton on a by road,
and falling into the Harston Road, well away from that village also.

4. It has to make a bend to enter Trumpington village, though

XUM

a THB BAST AWOLIAW; OB,

the probability is that that village is on the alignment of the original
road.

I am, therefore, of opinion that the road, after leaving Fowlmere,
originally passed straight on, forming the boundary between Newton
and Whittlesford parishes, and thence through Hauxton to Trumping-
ton. This, however, is only a surmise, as I have not yet had an
opportunity to work it out.

ACCOUNT BOOKS OF ST. STEPHEN’S CHURCH & PARISH, |i
NORWICH. Continued from p. 14. j l

1826. The g^tuity of £10 was continued to Rev. W. Collett, curate, as a h
mark of the parishioners' esteem ; the Rev. Canon W. F. Drake, the vicar, living in \
the Close. A gravestone was ordered to be erected to the memory of the late clerk, j’:
at the expense of the parish ; and a gratuity of £10 was ordered to be paid towards | j
paving the Back Street.

1827. An election for Guardians took place under the amended Act for the 1 i

Maintenance of the Poor; at the close of the poll, at three o’clock, 155 votes had !
been given for Mr. Charles Middleton, 116 for Mr. John Munday, and 64 for
Mr. Thomas Brightwell ; two only elected. 6<. 3d. in the £ on the rental was
ordered to be collected for the Poor Rate. Among the names signing were John
Middleton, W. J. Robberds, and John Youngs. A County Rate of lOd. in the £
was also made. In August it was resolved to close the gates of the churchyard by
day as well as by night, and that keys should be given to all parishioners who asked
for one. In September, 6«. Id. in the £ Poor ^te, and U. 8d. in the £ County H
Rate was order^ to be levied ; and that £2. 1I«. 6d. be paid for the erection of the u
seats at the north-west side of the church, for the accommodation of the district ' j
school. Samuel Bignold and John Beevor, sen., sign this. j i

1828. The old assessment reverted to in consequence of a resolution passed by | i
the veetry. Thomas Moore Keith appears as Guardian. Those who signed the ; :
minute book were W. F. Drake, vicar ; J. Middleton, W. J. Robberds, Chaa.
Middleton, Jno. Barwell, John Norgate, George Mayhew, John Youngs, Jno.
Munday, Joeiah Roope, Coleby, Hewitt, VV. F. Banner, Willm. Hardy, B. Boardman,
and H. King. The coroner made a charge for an inquest held on a person who had ;
died in the hospital, which the vestry directed should be resisted. The organ was

to be repaired at a cost not exceeding £40.

1829. George Hooper and Eagle Willett elected overseers on 2nd April, and
on the 20th there was a contested election for Guardians, when Messrs. C. Middleton
and B. Boardman were elected, the nominee of Messrs. 8. Bignold and Adam Taylor
(Mr. T. Brightwell) being rejected. In the year 1829-30 the Poor Rate, raised in
four instalments, was 20*. 5d. in the £, and the County Rate 4(. 3d. ; and the next
year was heavier still.

1831. The Vestry determined to oppose a new Guardians Bill, the one then in >
force having cost the city £1400 to obtain, and it had not yet been four years in
existence. Matthew Squire was a churchwarden. In July it was determined to '
appropriate those seats now used by strangers and servants for those parishioners
who had not sittings, and to move the pulpit and reading desk to the third pillar on
the south side towards the west. A new Act of Parliameut was passed on the
23rd August, and four Guardians had to be elected. On September 12th the election
took place. The poll was first closed at 3 o'clock, then re-opened till 5 o’clock,
when it was found that 8. Bignold had 126 votes, C. Middleton 130, Bn. Boardman

125, J. N. V. Cooper 115, T. Brightwell 30. It was ordered that the sound
board and the brass branch be reatored to their proper positions.

1832. Robert Colman an overseer ; Mr. Henry Beloe was an overseer in 1833.

1833. In September the Mayor (Samnel Bii<nold), T. Brightwell, Chas. John
West, William Hinsby, John Middleton, John Blake, and William Butcher were
appointed a Committee for equalizing the assessment of the parish.

1834. The thanks of the Vestry were given to Mr. Alderman Newton for his
firmness at a time when much opposition was made in the parish against the payment
of the church rates. A perambulation of the parish took place on the 6th of May.
A new terrier was made and signed previous to the Bishop’s Visitation. Mr. Arthur
Bayfield having resigned as a duardian, Mr. Alderman Newton, Mr. John Middleton,
Mr. Benjamin Boardman, and Mr. John Norton Valentine Cooper were elected
Quardians unopposed.

1835. A school-room in Baldrey’s Court, occupied by Mr. Phillips, was
assessed at £1. Mr. Boardman became ineligible to serve as a Guardian.

1836. A Committee was ^pointed to improve the singing.

In June, 1836, the Rev. Wm. Fitt Drake, the vicar, who was also the Bishop’s
chaplain, was presented to the living of West Halton in Lincolnshire. The
parishioners subscribed £86 and bought him a tea service.

1837. Benjamin Garthon elected sexton in room of his father, Benjamin
Garthon. Rates were made for the maintenance of the poor, a Borough Rate, and
a Watch Rate. Mr. James Harcourt of the parish of 8t. Margaret was elected organist
in the place of Mr. Alfred Pettett, deceased. A committee was appointed to consider
the cleansing and whitewashing of the church, repair of the east window, and the
proper appropriation of the pews.

1838. Application made to Mr. Kitson for leave to remove the south porch,
which was in a dangerous state, without a faculty.

1839. Mr. Harbord Fiddey Boardman was appointed orgpanist.

1840. The total Poor Rate, raised in four quarterly instalments, was 17t. 8d. ;
the Church Rate, Is. 9d., in two instalments ; and for repair of the road from the
Lame Dog to York Place, 2d. in the £ was raised in 1841.

1841. Mr. James Cupper was elected road surveyor for a year, at a salary of
four guineas. A committee was appointed to consider the removal of the font,
making a private entrance to the organ loft, and erecting sittings for the district
schools, and it was agreed to defray the cost of the same by voluntary contributions.
It was resolved to have the stained glass, which had been put in the east window by
Mr. Starland, removed.

1842. Mr. Norgate gave some ancient stained glass, which was placed in the
east window. The officers elected on the 28th March were Mr. Charles Bensley and
Mr. James Howes, churchwardens ; Robert Palmer, Thos. Colman, sidesmen ;
51ark Stockii^, George Ward, overseers ; Eagle Willett, Sam. Bignold, Geo.
Durrant, W. K. Famell, James Hardy, E. C. Bailey, auditors; Sam. Bignold, John
Norgate, Paving Commissioners ; H. F. Boardman, organist. This year, as in
others, the vestry opened at ten and closed at eleven, when Guardians were nominated
and elected. The Clerk (Mr. Browne) commenced proceedings in the Consistory
Court to compel the parish to pay him the fees which he thought he was entitled
to, but he lost the day. The vestry refused to repair the Back Street.

1843. The churchwardens were empowered to consult with the Surveyor of
St. Peter Mancroft and the Clerk to the Waterworks, as to watering the road from
Brazen Doors to York Place.

1844. An election for one churchwarden and the org;anist took place. The poll
was open till four o’clock on that day, April 8th ; from ten till four on the Tuesday ;
and opened again on the 10th at ten o’clock. Mr. B. Boardman obtained 1 14 votes,
and retired; Mr. Noverre received 118 votes, and was elected churchwarden;
Mr. U. F. Boardman was re-elected organist, with 140 votes, Mr. Reuben Warne
receiving only thirty -four votes. But a committee of Messrs. Henry Francis,

28

TirE EAST ANOLIAV; OE.

Henry Miller, and Edward Field were appointed to consider if an apology was not
due from the organist to the churchwardens, and what his duties were. There was
an opposition to the re-election of the Guardians, Messrs. Brightwell, Jliller, and
Towler (probably Liberals) rejected. The churchwarden (Mr. Xoverre) asked for
a Church Rate of U. in the £. ; Mr. Hardy and .Mr. Howes proposed 6d. ; Mr.
Moore and 3Ir. Greenwood that the making of a Church Rate be adjourned tweWe
months. A poll was taken on the 19th of July, when seventy-three voted for
6d., six voted for twelve months’ adjournment. The assessment question ag^n arose,
the Property Tax assessment being suggested as a basis by the Guardians.

1845. To lessen the Church Rate the feoffees of the parish property were
approached, and it was agreed that the rent payable by Mr. Chamberlin (Atkins’
Close) should be received by the churchwardens, less any sums due to Mr. Francis.
A memorandum to that effect is inserted in the minute book, signed Sam. Bignold,
I. Jermy, and £. T. Booth. And it was further agreed to take Id. in the £ from
the Poor Rate and use it as a Church Rate. Goddard Johnson signs this year.
The following properties were found liable to pay rent to the churchwardens in aid
of Church Rate : — Next the Bull Inn in St. Stephen’s, now let to James Burgess at
£21 per year; Beale’s tenements in Surrey Street, now vested in the Rev. J. Bowman
at £l 1 per year ; three acres at Thuxton, let to I. O. Taylor, Esq., at £5 per annum ;
Browne’s tenements, in occupation of S. Bignold, Esq., at £2. 12t. per annum; £l
rent from Heydun, now Bulwer’s; tenements in NeedRam Street paid lOs., now in
hands of S. Bignold, Esq.; fur preaching a sermon under Blackett^ will; £1. I Os.,
paid by St. Peter Mancruft, for poor ; Mr. Boardman paid 6<f. a year fur a right-of-
way through the churchyard ; Mrs. D. Roulliun pays the same ; and Atkyns’ Close,
2a. 3r. 32p. In January, 1 839. counsel’s opinion had been taken as to the legality
of using these for Church Repair. Sir William Webb Follett and Mr. Duval held
that if objection were taken to such use, the Court of Chancery might direct a
different course in future, but the churchwardens were not liable to make good
monies so used, as they had acted botid Jidi. Mr. E. Field and .Mr. W. P. Nichols
were nominated for the office of parish churchwarden ; but when the vestry opened
next morning to take the poll, a letter was received from the latter, withdrawing his
nomination. Mr. Abel Towler and Mr. Samuel Woodcock Alealing, overseers.
The names of Mr. Edmund Reynold, Mr. Foster Grand Aloore, Chiles Raven,
Mr. Wilson, Mr. John Middleton, Mr. Hallows, Mr. Hutchin, Mr. Clayton, and
Mr. Fred Sapey were mentioned as having their ratal qualification altered, and the
Assembly Rwms were increased to £105. There was an election for Guardians —
Nichols. Miller, and Colman (Liberals) being defeated by Cooper, Famell, Hardy,
and Field.

1846. Mr. Field presented the parish with an antique chair. Wm. Brazell
Bensly was the chairman on several occasions. The total rates collected for the
year were — 4s. lOd. for the Poor Rate; Is. l^fi. for the Borough Rate; and 2^d.
in the £ for the Watch Rate. There was another contested Guardian’s election, ^e
three Liberals receiving three votes each, which possibly they gave themselves.
They were Messrs. Towler, Miller, and Easto.

This is the last year entered in the book ; but at the end is the poll for the
churchwarden and organist in 1844, the list beginning on the last page, and
continuing nearer the beginning. 237 persons voted, of whom 29 were females,
and 8 had some objection raised against their vote. Amongst the clergy living
in the parish were the Rev. John Perowne,* Rev. Samuel Titlow,t Rev. Robert Rolfe.

The following names were signed to the Churchwardens' Accounts for 1790 : —

W“ Taylor Rob* Harvey, jun'

SOME SUFFOLK CHURCH NOTES. No. LH.

St. Mary at the Tower, Ipswich {continued).

A memorial tablet of painted wood hangs on the wall in the
south-west corner of the church, at the lower comers of which are
depicted William Smart, a great Ipswich benefactor, and his wife.
They are kneeling ; he, a venerable bearded figure in a red gown and
black doublet with ruff and ruffles ; the lady in a dark-coloured gown
with ruff, and a black hood over a close white coif. A quaint view of
Ipswich is in the background, and above are two cherubs. On a
scrolled tablet in the centre is painted the following acrostic epitaph,
that looks to have been retouched : —

W hat can a deade man feede aud cloth and holy precepts geve
I t cannot be tush tel not me I know he stil dooth line.

L iue then sweete Soule in ample rest, example to the rest
L ike thine his ground must low be laid that high wil build his nest.
I f none think now on thank ; if out of sight be out of minde
A Ithough ’tis wrong yit lights thy los that heueuly thank doost finde
M ay never yet faire Ipswich fry be foully so vukinde.

S chooles Churches Orphanarye roomes shal keepe y* stil in sight
M en Weeme Children, ould and 3’uug, shal were the day and night.
A las then not for y' wee cry but for our selues alas
R uing the want of such a wight as al thine adge did pas •

T hus I’le poore Man one did moorne thus gras bewayled gras.

Smart was buried under the altar, but his massive gravestone now
lies within a low iron railing in the churchyard west of the tower. It
is inscribed : —

Qvlielmvs Smart | integerrimse piet | atis institiaq’ Senator |
defvnctvs est 23 Sep | tembris A.D. 1599. Cvivs vx | or Alicia nvpta
Rv I dvlpho Scrivener Ar | migero obiit 13 Oc | tobris A.D. 1600.

There are no heraldic insignia here, but the shield on his alms¬
houses is: — Ermine, 3 chess rooks Gu. two and one.

Another acrostic inscription is upon a small stone now set up on a
tower buttress near to Smart’s memorial: — Eccl. ij 1 | Cast on | y*
Waters thy bread, after | many dayes thov sbalt find it. | ix Marcij
An. Dni. 1618. |

Inventario, Ac. Sub protestacbne tamen de addendo ^ si

W““ Colman, Reg'®*

There eeeins to be some doubt as to the actual meaning of the
word Builimong (under the head of “Come on the Ground”). I am
informed that a farmer in the neighbourhood of Wetheringsett thinks
a mixture of crops is intended, as when the original crop has partly
failed and a different one is sown to take its place. Forby’s definition
(see Vocabulary of Eoit Anglia, toI. i. (1830) pp. 43, 44) is a variation
of this. He says, “ Bully-mung, 8. According to T. [Tusser] a
mixture of the meal of oats, pease, and vetches. Sk. [Skinner’s
Etymol] makes buckwheat the main in^edient. With us [Fincham,
CO Norf.] it means any coarse thick mixture for homely food. The
derivation doubtfully proposed by Sk. is probably right. A.S. bilig,
ater, and mengean, miscere.”

In N. Bailey’s Dictionary the explanation given is “Bullimong or
bullimong: a mixture of several sorts of grain together, as pease,
oats, vetches. Ettex” This might apply to either of the preceding
definitions, as he does not say for what purpose the grain is mixed.
Probably the first idea is more correct in the present instance.

St. Mabt at the Towbk, Ipswich {continrui).

The deceased are represented kneeling, turned towards the
spectator, an open book between them. The husband wears a short*
sleeved gown, his long hair descends upon his band or falling collar,
and he wears a moustache. His right hand is extended, open, in
front, his left rests upon his breast, and he kneels upon one knee.
The lady’s robe has a loosely-cut skirt with tight sleeves and small
ruffles ; on her head a plaited cap with kerchief thrown over it. The
right hand grasps her drapery while the left is extended. The figures
are unpainted.

Beneath the inscription is a group of children, of whom one son
is kneeling and reading a book ; another kneels on one knee and
offers a skull to his sister (who faces him) and touches it with her left
hand, holding a scarf to her head with her right. Another girl kneels
behind with both hands full of flowers. Underneath are carved
festoons of fruit, &c., and at the sides are a shield and lozenge, each
charged with the Rohimon arms.

A rectangular brass plate, evidently only an appendix to another,
now lost, is now mounted on the wall behind the font : — Hie quoqve

years Master of the Queen’s School, who died 7*^* Ctd. Feb. 1822,
aged 83. Below is his shield of ai-ms : — Sa. a lion rampant crowned,
between three crosslets Or, King. Evidence is given of the prevalent
pluralism of the period in another Latin inscription on tlie same wall : —

Aug. die XII. hdoocxxxi. I In the same grave rest the remains of his
consort | Anne Savage Cobbold, | of whom it is little to say that the
chief virtues which | endear the wife & mother | and adorn the
Christian | met in that meek | affectionate & exemplary woman. |
She died Oct. 8. 1806. Aged 62. | Also of | Thomas Cobbold | their
eldest son, a youth of rare promise, | who sacrificed his life to his
ardent pursuit I of knowledge at Trinity College, Cambridge, | in the

Coblmld their youngest son | who died an infant. J

tions to two of Mr. Cobbold’s daughters: — Sarah, the youngest, died
Oct. 15. 1812, aged 62, and Mary Ann Frances, June 26. 1857, aged 81.

Appendix No. X.

The accounts of the receiver of the Scotch Ijoan, 1645.

[The following is a compilation from Lay Subsidies The

former is a book headed “ The account of Peter Collins of Cambridge
of several sumes of money collected by him in the county of Cam*
bridge for the Scott advance, beginning the 28^'* March, 1645, as
foUoweth." The latter is a book headed “An account of the Scotch
Loan ordered to be received by me Peter Collins,’’ and is simply the
day-book in which the Collector entered the amounts as he received
them, with the names and residences of the contributors. Some years

ago I made a transcript of as much of this day-book as related to the
county — as distinct from the town— of Cambridge. On referring to the
persons under their places of abode I found the document in its
original state difficult to search, so I cut up my transcript into slips
and sorted them into topographical order. Soon afterwards, to
beguile the tedium of a forced sojourn aboard a plague-stricken ship
in the Gulf of Aden, I started to add such notes as 1 was able] : —

* The Amyei were an armigerons family, see Harleum Soe. Fieitatiim, p. 61. A
Henry Amy was vicar of Little Abington in 1524.

t John ^gott was fined £540 by the House of Commons in 1648, for residing in
the enemy’s quarters at Oxford, whither he had ^ne to escape his creditors. The
first of the name who resided here was John Pigot who received a grant of the
manor about 36 Hen. VI., on failure of the heirs of William de Notton. The
family still possess the manor and advowson of the rectory.

X Concerning this Mr. Clarke, one of the largest contributors in the list, I have
been able to find nothing. He paid on August loth, 1645.

\ He was appointed Rector of Ashby November 21st, 1639, and remained until
1656, and perhaps longer.

y Giles Joselyn or Joscelin was a very much talked of man in his day. He made
armed resistance to the collectors of ship-money in 1640 (see Eutt Anglian, vol. vi.,
p. 51). But in 1648 he took a prominent part in the abortive insurrection at Linton,
and a special and severe report concerning him was sent up to 'London by the
Cambrige Committee {S. P. Dom. Inter. A., 135). He died in 1662, aged 74
(pedigree in Oenealogiet, new ser., iii.). His will in Fragmenta Oenealogiea, vol. iv.

$ A John Baker had been ejected from the Vicarage in 1644, but there was a

Whereupon a caveat was entei^ against all other suitors {Girgtc Tranteripts,

was evidently-found not guilty. John Baker, the Vicar, had a temporal estate of

* Afterwards Lord Protector for a few months, now 18 years old. Oliver
Cromwell’s mother was the widow of William Lynne, Esquire, of Bassingboum,
More she became a Cromwell.

t There are several memorials of this family in the church. They held a manor
at Whaddon and land in Bassingboum and Litlington. Edward Turpin, gent.,
was buried in Bassingboum Church in 1683. His will is in the Arehdtaeon’*
RtgUtry, Peterboro’, vol. z., p. 316.

$ This family settled here about 1598, when they bought land of William
Burman. They came from Newport, in Essex.

I He was one of the s^uestrators of estates of royalists in Cambs. In the
neighbouring church of Litlin^n is a monument to Roger Stoughton, Esq., late
Alderman of London, who died 30th May, 1690, aged 81. In the 22nd year of
Elizabeth a Thomas Biseley aliat Stoughton held land in eapit* in Litlington and
Steeple Morden. Inq. po$t mortem.

I Sir Thomas Hatton, who afterwards possessed the Manor of Richmond, seems
from the Court Rolls to be a copyhold tenant at this time. Sir Thonoas also paid
£7 for Longstanton, and a further £2 for some other property.

1 1n 1646 William Curtis, clerk, described variously as being of Bassingboum,
Cambridge, and Orwell, paid a fine of 120 marks for spending two months in the
King's quarters at Oxford.

** A family of this name held a fourth-part of the Manor of Rous, in Bassing-
bourn, 24th Elizabeth. Inq. poet mortem.

ft He signs the register as Curate in 1635. On a brass plate in the Church of
Boxworth is, or was, this epitaph, “Johannes Killingwortb, hujus per sex lustra et
bienium . gpregis pastor fidelissimus eccleeieque filius hie dormit, obiit Dec. 18,
1667 anno., setatis 69.” He also found favour with the Parliamentary Com¬
missioners, who, in 1650, describe him as a pious, able man.

X t The Hagger or Hagar family of Bourn held the Castle Manor there for many
years. In 1625, John was reported (for taxation purposes) to be one of the largest
wool owners in the county. See further mention of him in appendix viii.

“Garden Penny: an Ecclesiastical Impcst” — In Besse’s Suffer,
ingt of the People called Q^akera (vol. i., p. 1671) under Essex is the
following Ezra Purclias was committed to prison for refusing to
pay three shillings demanded of him for Smoke Penny, Garden Penny,
and Easter Offerings.”

What was “ Garden Penny ” ? In some parishes I believe it is still
customary for the parson to claim from each inhabitant over fifteen
years of age payment for a plough in addition to “ smoke money.” Ii
the garden penny identical with the plough due?

Bishopoate.

REPLY.

The Spanish Armada and the East Coast (vol. ii., new ser.,
pp. 325, 348, iii., p. 72). A recent catalogue of a London bookseller
contained the following: — “-<4 Watch-tcorde for Warre. Not so new
as necessary : Published by reason of the dispersed rumours against
vs, and of the unsuspected coming of the Spanyard against vs.
Wherein we may leame how to prepare ovrselves all the time of
that trouble.” — 8m. 4to., Cambridge: lohn Legat, 1596. On a leaf
following the table is an acrostic on Elitabeth Regina, ensigned by a
cut of the Eoyal Arms. The work is dedicated to “ The Right
Worthipful the Mayor of the horrough of King' a Lynne and to hia Aaaociati
or Bretheren the Aldermen of the aame Towne." The author is one,
C. Gibson, who writes “a Pedantic Epistle dedicatory.” Lowndes
makes no mention of the book. Is anything known of the author or
the local circumstances under which this singular work was written ?

“8IDE-B0ABD” CLOTH OF
DAMASK LINEN WITH PICTORIAL DESIGN
(vol. iy., p. 145 ; vol. ix., p. 357).

In continuation of previous articles, we are now able to draw
attention to further interesting examples of figured damask cloths.
The Rev. E. Edwards Montford, Rector of Swanton Abbot, Norfolk,
has a large (table) cloth, 9 ft. by 7 ft., and two smaller (tray) cloths,
29 in. by 41 in., each showing identically the same pattern. The
linen is of special importance, for apart from its value as an art
production of a byegone period, it is said to have formed part of a
wedding present given by Queen Elizabeth to her maid of honour —
Catherine of Tisted — on the occasion of her marriage with Sir John
Norton. In the genealogy of the late Summersby Edwards of Long
Buckley, whose daughter was married to the Rev. E. Edwards
Montford, the name of the said Catherine appears without surname
attached.

The design is illustrative of St. John iv., 6—31, and represents : —
(1) The woman of Samaria in the act of drawing water from the well
of Sychar; (2) the buildings of an important city; and (3) the
disciples of our Lord, three in number, bringing food to their Master
in a basket.

Unlike the heraldically-inscribed cloth previously described (vol.
ix., p. 357) containing one clear woven design, the specimens under
notice, similar to other examples in the South Kensington Museum,
shew a repetition of pattern in reverse order, which, as in the case of
lettering, has a singular effect in presenting the words backwards
way. The Saviour, for instance, in Ids intercourse with the woman
appears four times — twice in each half of the cloth, which, in point
of fact, may be said to be in four breadths. Similarly the three
disciples are twice represented. This repetition of subject leads to an
occasional strange and abrupt termination of the design. A repeating
floral pattern that appears in the general design, is thus divided in two
at the sides, while the singular effect of the bottom of the disciples’
feet and legs, and that of the basket they hold, are seen dangling
from the top of the cloth.

The well is low and font-shaped, of Gothic character. Beneath
it stands the waterpot or ewer of good design. The woman, who is in
the act of letting down the bucket, which is suspended by a chain
which works on a pulley, appears to be suddenly arrested by the
Saviour. She is shown full-faced, and is attractively arrayed in a
richly-worked dress (with deep embroidered collar) having full sleeves,
gathered at the elbow, from whence to the wrist is a cuff of figured
material. The thin face of the Saviour, having beard and moustache,
wears a pained expression. He has flowing hair ; upon the head rest
halo-rays of light, showing three distinct lines, alternating with a
floriated triple form resembling the fleur-de-lis, and of a kind we have
no remembrance of ever having seen. He wears a loose-sleeved robe
or coat, having ornamental bands at the neck, sleeves, and hem, which
descends nearly to the feet, which are qmte bare.

XUM

Twice in the same line occurs an ornamental escutcheon bearing two
castles (?), over each is an expanded hand in an opposite slanting
direction.

A central floral design, or rather fruit-bearing tree (pomegranate?),
starts from this point, ^e stem of which is carried down to a position
at the foot of the buildings, that represent a city, where the ramifica¬
tion of the roots are shown.

Underneath occurs the lettering : —

lOES 4* I °4 sxoi I 10X8 4° I *4 sxoi
SYOHAB I BAHOYS { 8YCHAB | BAHCYS

into which the buildings below (which occupy a considerable space)
may be said to rise.

The full design is rendered complete by an eSectiye pourtrayal of
three disciples (two sets), each with the nimbus. The central l^ard-
less figure (presumably 8t. John) apparently stands within the city
gate, with portcullis overhead. The trimming of the neck of the
tunic differs in form to that of the other two disciples. The hands
are seen falling in front, or may be holding food by way of invitation
to partake (“ Master, eat ”). The two bearded disciples on either
side have each hold, with one hand, of a basket, in which, at the top,
three loaves are seen. The other hand of the partiaUy- bared arms is
extended in the direction of the food. As we have already said the
lower portion of this design appears at the top of the cloth.

The cloth we have examined is hemmed top and bottom, having
the sides selvedged, with the “ dice ” pattern running along the sides.

SOME SUFFOLK CHURCH NOTES. No. LIV.

St. Nicholas, Ipswich.

Although the greater part of the present church is no older than
the Decorated Period, it is supposed to stand upon the site of an
earlier building, dedicated to St. Michael, which is mentioned in
Domesday Book, and from which a few carved stones remain built into
the north wall of the present structure. It now consists of Decorated
nave and aisles, with tower (recently restored) panelled in flint and
stone, and a late chancel of debased Perpendicular architecture. The
south aisle has a porch with rounded gable, and there is a small south
porch to the chancel. The ancient vestry on the north was pulled
down a few years back and enlarged. The north door has been
bricked up. One or two Perpendicular windows have been inserted
in the aisles, the eastern bays of which appear to have formed chapels.
There is a fine Decorated piscina in north aisle under a cinquefoiled

head, a plainly-arched piscina in the chancel, and another in the
south aisle. The proportions of the interior have been injured by
the nave floor having at some time been heightened to aVoid floods, to
which the church was liable, and thus the bases of the fine clustered
Decorated pillars have been buried. No remains of the rood screen
nor its staircase are to be seen. There is now no chancel arch, but
a Perpendicular dormer window on each side of the nave roof towards
the east probably lighted the loft. The southern of these windows,
a two-light, retains its tracery and a carved barge-board. Of the
rudely-carved stones referred to as being relics of St. Michael’s Church,
one appears to represent the patron saint, who is shewn in a skirted
garment, and has what looks like a pair of wings on his helmet,
encountering a winged dragon breathing out flames. The Archangel
holds a sword in his right hand, and in his left a long-pointed shield
with rounded top. An inscription in very archaic letters on the stone
has been rendered : —

HER SCT MIKAOL FIHT VID DANE DRACA.

Upon another stone (or perhaps three placed together) are the
mutilated figures of three ecclesiastics, possibly Apostles. A large
cross is beside each; one wears alb and dalmatic, with a maniple
on his left arm, and a cross staff in his right hand; another appears
to be vested in a long chasuble of curious make, and holds. a stole
between his hands. The third is greatly defaced, and little can with
certainty be made out from it. On the crosses is the word apostolus.
The third stone was evidently the tympanum of a round-headed
doorway, and has a rough but spirited carving of a boar. There
is a round fillet round the edge, wluch is thought to read : —

IN DEDICACIONE OMNIUM SANCTORUM.

In the spandrels of the west doorway of the tower, which is of
Perpendicular date, are shields containing the ordinary Holy
Trinity symbol and the Instruments of the Passion. Between
the doorway and the large west window are three shields: —
(1) An arrow erect in pale between two crowns; (2) Dexter, a
bishop’s crosier erect, sinister a mitre, and in base a fleur de lys ;
(3) A cross engrailed. These are reproductions of the original
shields, but from my recollection of them in their greatly decayed
state they appear to be pretty accurate. Two fonts are now
in the church, that in use being placed at the west end of the
nave. It is said to have once belonged to another church in the town,
and has an octagonal bowl with two five-foil headed panels on each
face ; angel heads are carved at the lower comers, and it is borne on
a modern shaft, round which are placed figures of the Evangelists
bearing scrolls in their hands. The other font stands in the south
porch, and is an ugly Georgian affair with a small hand basin-shaped
bowl on a tapering pedestal.

The earliest monument now to be seen is a brass in the nave floor
with standing figures of William Style and his wife. He is habited
in a long gown with narrow collar and cuffs of fur, and a border of
the same material about the ankles. The sleeves are narrow, and

k

THE EAST ANGLIAN; OR,

on his right shoulder is fixed his hood with stiff roundel, and a long
scarf depending in front. His hands are raised and spread, with the
little fingers crooked in an unusual way. From the belt with which
his gown is confined hang a large plain purse and a tasselled pater¬
noster with two strings of twelve beads each. His face is somewhat
turned towards his wife ; he is shaven, and his hair reaches just below
his ears. The lady is in a dress cut very low in front, revealing an
undergarment. The broad collar of fur is continued down below her
broad waistbelt. The sleeves are moderately full, tight at the wrist,
with a
falls in _

head-dress over a close coif. Two prayer scrolb issue from their I
mouths, and between them overhead was apparently a representation l-
of God in Three Persons. There were rosettes in the comers of the
stone and a shield below the figures, between two groups of children, I
apparently five boys and three girls. From each group proceeded a | ^
label with ejaculatory prayer, but all the brass is now lost except the
above-described two figures and the following inscription in Gothic | !
lettering at their feet : —

Hie iacent Willms Style Ac Issabella Vxor eivs qui quidem
WUlfhs I obijt Vndecimo die Mensis Junij Anno dni millmo oooc" ,
Lxxv" Et dicta Issabella | obijt xyj° die ffebruarij Anno dni millmo
coco nonage” qr° (itr) ale reqiescant I pace.

A stone at the foot of this last was the memorial of William Stiles ^
a few years later, and had figures of a man and wife with inscription
plate, two groups of children below, and four shields in the angles of
the stone ; but ^ have been lost except the effigy of the husband, who
wears a long gown open to the waist, and about halfway up from the
bottom. The gown is lined and collared with fur, and its wide sleeves
are bordered with the same. There is a belt at the waist, the hands
are joined in prayer, face shaven, and hair reaching almost to the
shoulder, the shoes broad-toed and shapeless. The wife, wearing a
kennel head-dress, was turned towards her husband.

On a third stone, further east, are effigies of William Bloys and I i
his wife. There appears to be some attempt at portraiture; the
male figure is represented as wearing a beard and moustache, and
hie hair is short. He wears a long fur-edged portman’s gown with
high sleeves, standing collar and r^, his arms being passed through
openings in the long hanging sleeves. The open gown discloses his !
doublet, confined at the waist with a cloth girdle, its skirts reaching |
midway down the thigh, sleeves close fitting and furnished at the
wrist with a small turned-back cuff, while his legs are encased in
close-fitting hose, his shoes low with high fronts fastened with straps,
and with very low heels. His wife’s dress is set out very full from
the hips and has many folds, but it is otherwise plain, the body
gathered into a long pointed stomacher ; the sleeves are close, with a
small cuff. She wears a small ruff, and on her head a close coif with
a large hood over it, pointed and depressed in the middle and
spreading at the sides, its drapery resting on her shoulders. She
wears shoes similar to her husband’s. A portion of this plate is tom

deep cuff of fur, and her hands are joined, while the gown
ample folds about her feet. She wears a plain kerchief

away. The figures are slightly turned in towards each other. Above
was a large plate, no doubt engraven with coat of arms, &o., and
below the inscription were two smaller plates with groups of children,
which are lost, together with the inscription : —

Here lyeth the bodyes of William Bloys, merchant, portman of
this town, and Alice his wife, who were married together 49 years.
He died the 23^ of Jan., 1607, being 81 years of age; and the said
Alice the 3^ of Nov., 1608, being 82 years of age.

Another lost inscription was to Thomas Bloys, ob. Oct. 14, 1528.
Upon a red marble stone in the chancel is a rectangular brass
plate with this inscription cut within Elizabethan scroll work : —

Hie iacet | Svsanna Parker vx | or qvondam Avgvstini | Parker
mercatoris qve | obiit 1 3 die mensis Avgusti | anno dini 1 604 anno |
qve eetatis sve 24. |

On two smaller plates above are the M$rchantt Adventurert' arms,
and Ermine a chevron .

On a fourth plate beneath is ajmerchant’s mark, formed of Parker’s
monogram, SAP.

]^und the edge of a large stone, west of Bloys’, runs this
inscription, now encroached upon by the benching : —

QUERY.

The “ CoCK-BARER ” AND THE “ PoALE-BARER.” — I CRD nowhers
find allusion, even of the remotest kind, to two seventeenth-century
village officials, designated respectively as the “Cock-barer” and the
“ Poale-barer,” who are mentioned in a small MS. book, of a dozen
or so parchment leaves, belonging to the Parish of St. Michael, Long
Stanton, Cambs, and known as “ a medow book maid” (July 1st, 1679)
“ for the grate medow by the consent of ye whole towne and othe
former Booke Haue bin examined.”

The (hay) meadow under the land tenure of former days was
divided into strips, which were duly apportioned and held by some
arrangement of shifting rotation until the grass was mown, when the
strips reverted to undivided territory and became common pasture
until the following spring. The return of spring was customarily
celebrated in the Shrove-tide observances, prominent among which
was the barbarous pastime of “throwing at Cocks,” and its attendant
display and hilarity. It would seem that the “ Cock-bearer ” and the
“ Pole-bearer” each by virtue of his office enjoyed the privileges of a
special meadow-land allotment with the owners generally, prominent
among which are Sir Thomas Hatton, Maudlen (Magdalen) College.
Trinity Hall, Mr. John Famham, Mr. Henry Edwards, and All
Saints’ Parsonage.

The book, besides giving the names of persons, and the allotment
or rotation numbers, adds some interesting descriptions and place
names.

Is it at all likely that the “Cock-bearer” and the “ Pole-bearer”
may have reference only to work connected with the “ cocking ” of hay
and the like ? Can anyone throw further light on the above-named
offices, or refer to such circumstances and conditions as those to which
allusion is made ?

THE EAELT QUAKERS IN EAST ANGLIA. No. I.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

A valuable and interesting MS., collection is preserved at the
Central OflBces of the Society of Friends, Devonshire House, Bishops-
gate Without, entitled, “ Accounts of the first Publishers of Truth.”
The series contains records of early Quaker preachers and sufferers,
sent up from various parts of the country in response to enquiries
made by the “Meeting for Sufferings,” in London early in the
eighteenth century.

It seems that the Quakers were accustomed at this period
(1659-60) to preach publicly in the streets and elsewhere against the
Universities and learning in general, the clergy, tithes, &c.*

We are indebted to Mr. Norman Penney, the courteous librarian
at Devonshire House, for the following transcript, relating to the
town and University of Cambridge. We trust, from time to time, to
be favoured with other extracts from these important and hitherto
unpublished documents.

“ Some of the sufferings off the people off god (called quakers)
by the scoUers and the Rude and blood thirsty people off this towne
and vniversitie off Cambridge briefly Related as followeth : —

vpon the 8th day off the 2nd month called Aprill 1660 ; the
BcoUers (who are taught but not off the lord) with other Rude people

the nasty and loathsome Channells in the streets ; and this did the
scoUers and the Rude multitude unto us att our meetings ;

vpon the 13 of the third month followings (C^led may) the
unruly scolllars and the Rude people came to our owne hired house
and violently broke open severall doores thereof, and brake the

did fall violently upon us and drew some off us out by the haire off

insomuch that for a tyme they were in danger off there lines whither
they would Recover yea or nay this was att another meetinge.

Vpon the 27 off the same month the blood thirsty men and
schollars did joine themselves together with a murderous intent and

Rude multitude came in againe and fell to worke as if some carpenters

The original manuscript of the foregoing transcript occupies two
folio pages, and is in two (or three) handwritings ; the names are not
autograph signatures. The paper is brown with age.

Alderman James Blackley (one of the Quaker proselytes), wrote,
in conjunction with other Friends : A Lying Wonder Diteovered and the
Strange and Terrible Newet from Cambridge proved false (London. 1659,
4to. 8 pp.). Certain Quakers had been accused of “bewitching
Margret Pryor of Long Stanton into a Mare,” and riding upon her
four miles, and this pamphlet rebuts the charge. The worthy aider-
man also appears in a tract entitled. The ^laker Disarm'd; or, A
True Relation of a Late Publiek Dispute held at Cambridge by Three
Eminent Quakers, against One Scholar of Cambridge, With a Letter in
Defence of the Ministry and against Lay Preachers ; Also Several Queries
proposed to the Quakers to be answered if they can (London, 1659, 4to.
24 pp.). The disputation was between “Thomas Smith, f Keeper of
the University Library,” and George Whitehead, George Fox (“the
younger”), and William Allen. It was held in the Friends’ Meeting¬
house, which is described as “over against Sidney Colledge-gate.”
The mayor and his wife are referred to. The wife (Mrs. Nicholson)
it would seem was a Quakeress.

Concerning the “ lying wonder” above referred to, it appears that
two of the accused appeared before Judge Windham at the Cambridge
Assizes, July 28th, 1659 (a year-and-three-quarters after the occur¬
rence), when Margaret Prior, being bound over by Justices Thompson
and Dudley Pope to prosecute, brought a like accusation against one,
Widow Morlin (“but she said she quitted William Allen”), alleging
that Merlin “took her owt of bed from her husband in the night, and
that she put a bridle into her mouth, and transformed her self into a
bay Mare and rode upon her to Maddenly House, where she said they
hung her on the latch of the door, and that they went in to the Feast,
where she said they had Mutton, Eabbets and Lamb,” etc., etc.

THB EAST ANGLIAN; OK,

Asked by tbe Judge how it came to pass that she was ridden no more,
she answered that she “ burnt elder bark and her own hair,” where¬
upon the power of Widow Morlin was supposed to have ceased.
Margaret Prior had thus, it was plainly seen by her own confession,
used sorcery. Of her strange statement the Judge said he perceived
it to be “ a meer dream and a phantasie.” The writer of the pamphlet
is answerable for the assertion that “ the priest of the towne, if he
had been honest might have stopt her from proceeding.” Anyhow,
the Quakers who had thus been accused of “enchanting witches”
were apparently alone among those professing godliness who regarded
witchcraft in its true light, for it seems that even John Bunion (the
Bedford tinker), who termed the Quakers “ the abominable children
of hell,” believed the story of “ good-wyfe Prior.” The Quakers, on
the other hand, held Bunyan to have slandered them on the report of
“a wicked lewd woman” * * * he being “an incourager of her in
this horrible wickednesse * * * with other professors and priests

* * * These slanders against the Quakers are much manifest in
Cambridgeshire, * * * though some of the priests and John Bunion
in his witchcraft doth seek to delude and make people wonder with
such profane and vaine bablinge against the innocent,” etc., etc.
These reflections were sent out from Cambridge (August 6th, 1652) by
James Blackley (Alderman), John Smith, sen., George Whitehead,
and John Harwood.

The other tract {The Quaker Dttarm’d), together with the
accompanying letter, is the work of Thomas Smith, the “ One
Scholar” who dates from “Cawcot” (Caldicot).*

In the “ Letter sent to Mr. E. of Taft (Mr. John Ellis, sen.. Rector
of Toft, Cambs), four miles from Cambridge, a year since, to which
no answer hath been returned,” Mr. Smith says, “the tinker hath
not only intruded into the pulpits in these parts and caused the
people of your town to hate their lawful minister, but encouraged
them to proceed so far as to cudgel him and break open the Church
doors by violence.”

In the course of one of these 4to. tracts (contained in vol. xzxii.,
one of some 500 or more in the possession of the Society of Friends at
Devonshire House), certain worthies of Norwich are alluded to,
including a certain “Mr. Townsend, Minister of Norwich,” in the
following reproachful terms : — “Thee Townsend * * * thou Dreamer

* * * thou Deceiver * * * Witch ♦ * ♦ 0 thou blinde Guide, thou
enemie of God * * * without Christ and his knowledge and in Anti-
Christ.” Christopher Atkinson, James Lancaster, George Whitehead,
and Tho. Simonds are mentioned as “ now in Norwich Goal for their
errors and miscarriages.”

* He relates how that Daniel Angler of Toft, occasionallly invited Bunyan to
preach in his bam. On one of these occasions, in May, 1659, Smith walked in
towards the close of the sermon (from 1 Timothy iv. 6), and amidst much confusion
and after some controversy, denied the layman's right to preach, and asked Runyan
what he had to say to the Apostle’s question, “ How shall they preach except they
be sent P ” To this Bunyan replied that the Church at Bedford had sent him, to
which Smith rejoined that being lay people the “Church” there could not give
that which they had not themselves.

BELL-METAL M0ETAE8 (Vol. ix., pp. 325-328).

Since the former article on bell-metal mortars was written, a few
more ornamented specimens have come into my possession. One is a
fine Dutch mortar with its original pestle — a thick and heavy one,

10 ins. in length. The mortar is very similar in form to 5a in the
illustration to my last paper. It is 6 ins. high, 6 ins. in diameter,
and bears the inscription ; — “ torqen • quade • g • s • m • o (or q)

• B«T«D«B«Y«F* 1644.” * The first two words appear to be
“George Quade,” probably the founder’s name, and the letters
following are most likely the initials of the words forming the rest of
the sentence. I shall be glad if someone acquainted with Dutch will
supply it, together with the translation. The mortar has the usual
conventional pattern round waist, and on one side is a straight-sided
shield bearing a merchant’s or guild mark and the letters d.q. (or o).

Two other mortars, which are of the same size — height
3|^ ins., diameter 4^ ins. — apparently belong to the same
series as 4a, 8a, 10a, one having the same grotesque head
that appears on 8a and 10a, alternating with a sort of
shield which appears also on the other, together with a
pointed elliptical stamp four times repeated, the centre of
which is too worn away to be deciphered, but it has the appearance of
an ecclesiastical seal. A fourth mortar, 3^ ins. high and 5 ins. in
diameter, has a unicorn trippant within an oval wreath stamped twice
upon it. This belongs to the same series as 3a, 9a, 3e. Mr. J. W.
Taylor’s mortar, referred to in my last paper, bears the inscription : —
“Petrus Van den Ghein me fecit 15M.” A similar one is in the
possession of Mr. D. Davison of Cromer, but is dated 1581. Mr.
'laylor also possesses a fine mortar with two bands of ornamentation,
similar to those used by the Oldfields of Nottingham upon their
church bells, and the initials I.B. Unfortunately tlm mortar is badly
cracked.

Mrs. Head of Kensington has sent me the following list of those
in her possession : —

(1) Belongs to same series as 4a, 8a, &c., ornamented with
alternate acorns and Tudor roses. Height, 4 1 ins. ; diameter, 5f ins.

(2) Similar to 15 ; a band of escallops and scrolls, in. wide,
round waist. Height, 4^ ins. ; diameter, 5^ ins.

(3) Stamped with a lion passant guardant ; one round handle on
opposite side to lion. Height, 4^ ins. ; diameter, 4j^ ins. This is very
similar in outline mouldings and the peculiarity of the one handle to
a mortar bearing the head of Queen Elizabeth, in the possession of
Mr. Redfern of Cambridge, and figured in The Antiquary, vol. xxziii.,
p. 339.

(4) Has a very smooth fine surface with inscription round the
outer edge: — “Soli Deo Gloria, 1724.” Height, 3^ ins.; diameter,
4^ ins.

(5) Has two large fleurs-de-lys on waist, in form very similar to

* TheM stops are of a lozenge shape in the inscription.

those on one of Mr. England Hewlett’s mortars, as given in The

(6) Ornamented with two small fleurs-de-lys. Height, 4 ins. ;
diameter, 5^ ins.

(7) Has a crowned Tudor rose impressed twice upon it. Height,
3^ ins. ; diameter, 4{ ins. An illustration of it appears in The
Chemitt and Druggitt, January 27th, 1900, p. 169, fig. 7.

(8) Has two crowned Tudor rotes similar to No. 7. Height,
4 ins. ; diameter, 4j^ ins.

(9) Has the head of Charles II. on a medallion with an
undecipherable inscription round it impressed thrice on its waist.
Height, 3^ ins. ; diameter, 4| ins.

(10) Also a “Charles II. mortar,” the head impressed upon it
twice. Height, 4^ ins. ; diameter, 5f ins.

(11) Has stag’s head erased on a wreath within an oval, similar
to 9a and Zc. Height, 3| ins. ; diameter, 4| ins.

(12) Also a “stag’s head mortar,” similar to No. 11, but the
impression is from a different die. Height, 3^ ins. ; diameter, 4} ins.

(13) Has two shields conjoined within a wreath of palm and
laurel, the left-hand shield bearing St. George’s Cross for England ;
the right-hand one the Irish harp. Height, 3f ins. ; diameter, 4^ ins.
This is similar to one in the possession of Mr. Crowther Beynon.

(14) Has ornamented scroll bands round waist and outer edge,
similar to li, &c. Height, 5^ ins. ; diameter, 7 ins.

(15) Is similar to 25 in outline and form of handles, but has five
lions rampant impressed upon it. Height, 5 ins. ; diameter, 5^ ins.

In addition to these, Mrs. Head has three Portuguese mortars,
somewhat similar in form to 2a, but more closely resembling one in
the possession of Mr. Davison of Cromer.

In The Chemitt and Druggitt, January 31st, 1903, there is an
illustrated paper by Mr. Davison on a collection of mortars in his
possession. Besides those referred to above, it includes a large one,
similar to 6a and 45, bearing the same pattern round the waist. It
weighs 110 lbs., and is 11 ins. high and 14 ins. in diameter. The^e I
believe to have been cast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, London.
Mr. Davison has notes of several other large ones having the same
pattern, and dated respectively 1651, 1653, 1659; also one now at
Cromer, inscribed round the outer edge: — “Phillip Lockton in
Abington, grocer, 1653.” He has two Dutch mortars, dated 1627 and
1635; a similar one to 65, dated 1631; one belonging to the same
series as 10a, &c. ; a “Charles II. moiiar” with round handles; a
“stag’s head mortar ” with pointed handles; one with crowned roses
and one with fieur-de-lys; one with scroll band similar to 15; two
with double-headed eagles impressed upon them, one of which has
round handles ; and lastly, a smooth cast mortar with handles in the
form of closed fists. In The British and Colonial Druggist, Sept. 5th,
1902, there is an interesting article on mortars, with illustrations of
some large and handsome specimens. In The Chemist and Druggist,
Sept. 13th, 1902, is figured a large mortar, then in the possession of a
chemist at Chester, weighing 112 lbs., and measuring 12 ins. in height

and 18 ins. in diameter; round its waist is the inscription: — “Luke
Asheton Wigan fecit 1732,” above and below which there is a band of
a running conventional pattern. A short time back a large old bell-
metal mortar was offered for sale in Worcester, together with its iron
pestle. It was inscribed : — “Nicholas, 1651.”

In his Church BelU of Camhridgethire, Dr. Raven telle us (p. 51)
that the little Hall bell at Peterhouse came from the Louvain foundry.
It is inscribed: — feeter vanden qhein heft mioheqotsn icdxlvu.
He also says: — “We have few of their bells, but a good many of
their bell-metal mortars. The Peter Vanden Qhein mentioned above
appears to have been followed by Jan Vanden Qhein, who made, in
1558, a mortar now in the possession of Mr. Fitch of Norwich ; Jan
is succeeded by another Peter — the Petrus Qheinens who made the
handbell of the Corporation of Rye in 1565; and, in 1580, a mortar
which I saw at Bungay.” q Pearson.

* In an exchequer suit of 1664 he is described as Thomas Dowsing, gent., aged 54.

t He was appointed Rector on the ejection of John Manby, D.D. He married
Cromwell’s sister Robina. According to Walker, he was a very mean creature
indeed, but Walker was nothing if not partial. In 1646 the committee for
plundered ministers ordered French to pay Mrs. Hester Manby £60 a year as a fifth
part of the value of the Rectory.

FIGURED DAMASK LINEN CLOTHS
(vols. iv., p. 145 ; ix., p. 357 ; x., 49).

A well-preserved specimen (in private possession) of somewhat
thicker material than the woven examples previously described as
remaining in families connected with East Anglia, has just been
brought to our notice. It is similar in shape and character to the
others, and is clearly of Flemish manufacture, although a tradition
remains in the owner’s circle that this and a like cloth were wrought
by one of the family upon a wheel still treasured as an heirloom.

The subject, presented in three several groupings or scenes, is
the death of Jezebel (2 Kings ix. 30 — 37), and measures 20 ins. by
36 ins. It is within a wide floral border enclosed by lines, the whole
surrounded by the familiar dice pattern, and measuring 30 ins. by
46 ins.

At the top, surmounting a city of decided German appearance, is
the descriptive word 3leB=reel iu German text. The main city wall,
which is formed of large square blocks, rests upon a line of arches
showing gates, windows, and other openings with towers and vaned
turrets, chimney (from which smoke ascends), shrubs growing upon
the lower wall, &c., &c.

Below, in similar lettering, is Isabel {Jetehel). The large figure
of the woman is represented (out of all proportion to the surroundings)
as falling headlong through the air to the ground, with outstretched
arms, distended fingers, open mouth (indicative of sudden terror), and
loose flowing drapery. Her bodice is ornamented with a row of
buttons down the centre, the large sleeves flowing back from the

I; ams, leaving them bare above the elbow. The waist is confined by
a belt. The skirt divides in her fall, displaying the limbs. The
d. \ \ head is “tired,” an ornamental head-dress being conspicuous. Three
0 I hounds are seen bounding towards the Queen as she falls to the
0 i ground, over which is scattered skull, feet, and palms of hands.

Beneath is Jleibtt ' 1^0 {^^nig), who is seen, crowned, driving in a
canoe-shaped chariot, drawn by two prancing horses.

All the above is once repeated, except that the dimensions of the
I cloth preclude more than half of the chariot in the lower portion being
: seen. To the same cause is to be attributed the divided figures on

^ either side, a singular feature in these pictorial designs.

East AwoLiAifs m Kent. — The following copy of an inscription
on a stone in the nave of Keston Church, near Bromley, Kent, may be
of some interest to Eaet Anglian readers. Mr. Clinch also, in his
Antiquarian JoUingt about Bromley, enumerates amongst the rectors : —
John Sudbury in reign of Henry III.

William de Bliburg, 1310 (?).

At West Wickham, close by is the tomb of

“ Sire Wauter : de : Hontingfeld : Chevalier : gist : icy :

Deu : de : sa : alme : eyt : merci.”

Walter’s son, John de Huntingfield in Eastling, left two
coheiresses, of whom Alice married Sir John Norwich.

The Baptismal Bason (vol. ix., pp. 133, 181, 341). — In the
Inventory of Church Goods appertaining to the Church of Hadleigh,
Suffolk (a.d. 1480), besides several other basons, is the following: —
"Item another Bason of Laten w“* an Ewer belonging to the Funt.”
Also in the will of Agas Herte of Bury St. Edmimd’s (a.d. 1522), is
the following : — “ Itfn I bequethe to the Chyrche of Seynt Jamys a
laten and a ewer of pewter hamerd to be used at crystnyng of chyldem
in the seyd Chyrch as long as it will indure.” The pre-Eeformation
use of the baptismal bason is thus established, aud in character the
vessel seems to have resembled the bason of Puritan days. A bason
of identical form with that belonging to Eampton, Cambs (figured on
p. 133, vol. ix.), is represented in a paper on “ Scottish Pewterers” in
the Connoitteur (vol. v., p. 234), among the Communion and other plate
of the Episcopal Church of Stonehaven. It is interesting to read that
the pewter laver and bason, being necessary adjuncts to Divine service,
are still found in many churches in Scotland, and always associated
together in old accounts; singularly enough, too, they are found
similarly mentioned in respect of pre-Eeformation usage of the
English Church. In the Presbyterian Churches of to-day, where the

font has not superseded the pewter bason, a vessel of more preciooi
metal has been brought into requisition. The manner of use, we are
told, was for one of the parents to hold the child over the bason, the
water being poured from the laver upon the face of the baptized.

QUERY.

Lenten distribution of Herrings. — The purchase of herrings
for distribution among the poor of Duxford, Cambs, during Lent,
was certainly until late years effected out of a sixteenth century
bequest by one, James Bedell. Was such a benefaction frequent in
byegone times? Are other like instances known in East Anglia?
May not the custom of giving bread and herrings, &c., to needy
parishioners have something to do with such a phrase, as “ they only
go for the ‘ loaves and fishes ’ ” ?

T.A.C.

REPLIES.

The Ventkis Arms (p. 56). — The true explanation of the arms of
Lady Ventris is briefly this: — Sir Peyton Ventris married Margaret
Whiting of Ipswich {vide Muskett’s Suffolk Manorial Families, vol. ii.,
p. 134), and the arms of Whiting, as recorded in the Suffolk Visitation
of 1664, were three ehevronels. Blois says: — Sable, three chevrons
Argent. This furnishes only another instance of the extreme value of
a work like Dr. Muskett’s incomparable undertaking.

In- BREAD (p. 15). — The will of Francis Pynner of Bury St.
Edmund’s, gent. (a.d. 1639), provides for the distribution of forty-two
penny wheaten loaves among the poor of St. Mary’s parish, the Clerk,
Sexton, or bedel “to have the in-bread of the same bread w'*" shalbe
brought and provided.” A further bequest, of a yearly sum of five
pounds, in the same will is for the bestowal of “wheaten bread to be
made into penny loaves, and upon ev’y Lord’s day called Sonday
* * * fowre and twenty loaves of the said bread w*** the in-hread
allowed by the baker for those twoe dosens of bread * * * the saide
Clarke, Sexton, and bedell shall alwaies haue the in-bread of all the
bread aforesaid ov' and besides their shares in the said twoe dosens of
bread.” In former days a very heavy penalty was inflicted for short
weight, so to avoid any risk in respect of the sale of bread, bakers
gave with each dozen loaves a thirteenth or vantage loaf. Hence the
origin of the familiar term, “a baker’s dozen."

A COUNTRY PARSON OF 1627.

Some of the wills of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth
centuries are notable reading. Written by the testators themselves,
they are full of autobiography and of passing allusions to the customs
of the times. A book of records of this kind would be a wholesome
study for quiet hours. The will of the parson of Little Thurlow, which
we now subjoin, is replete with homely piety enlivened by a re^y wit
and punning allusions to the testator’s name. The burial he planned,
as he wrote in the shortening September days, appeals to the imagin¬
ation of the reader. We see the open grave in the chancel, and a
solitary taper here and there shines through the gloom. Brother
clergymen in their black gowns bear the ^dy to the tomb. The
awed villagers fill the building to the doors. We hear their responses
as Evensong is said in the presence of the dead, the special lessons —
the well-known chapter from the Epistle to the Corinthians — and the
solemn verses from the book of Job, “ Man lieth down and riseth not:
till the heaven be no more they shall not awake nor be raised out of
their sleep. 0 that Thou wouldest hide me in the g^ave : that Thou
wouldest keep me in secret until Thy wrath is past.”

Who now possesses a copy of Daye’s Deteant on David"! Dialmi?*
Where now shall we find the “ Jacke-in-the-Kitchen,”f or the “rug
gowne,” such as was given to the clarke of Little Thurlow? And
who was Day himself? He leaves to his brother “the golde ringe
with his father’s arms ” ; and to his sister “ the ringe with five
diamonds which was his mother’s.” A scholar and of gentle birth, his
quaint turns of thought, his generosity and his loveable character are
apparent in the writing which he left for others to read when he was
dead.

J. J. Muskbtt.

“I, John Daye, Bachelour of Divinity and Parson of Little
Thurlow, make my last will and testament this 28*** day of September
in the third year of Kinge Charles, 1627. I know not how soone
myselfe may be summons hence, whoe according to my vocation
have soe many tymes given warning to others. A most wretched
sinner I yet commend myselfe vnto God and to his infinite greate
mercies. I have waited for thie salvacoh, 0 Lord. My desire is that

» THE SONG OF THE ANGLIAN.”

The following is the fourth of a series of orig^inal Songs of the
Counties,” which our contributor has evidently written with the view
of emphasizing the affection with which men are wont to regard the
region that either has given them birth or that has welcomed them
within its charmed circle. With the one exception of local folk and
similar rhymes of some merit, we have from the first set our face
against the insertion in these pages of original poetry and the like, as
betokening a departure from the avowed object for which the JSati
Anglian was founded. This object we have throughout sought to
further, often, we fear, at the risk of being regarded somewhat severe
in our aims, and much too dry in our subject matter. We are,
however, pleased to make an exception at a time when ” the men of the
East ” are rallying under an East Anglian fiag ; but we specially give
the song a place here because there is not only music but archaeology
in it, and we are glad to enshrine in this body of verse the expressive
lines 9, 10, and 1 1, as evidencing true poetic instinct, a just apprecia¬
tion of Esist Anglian legendary lore, and the stem onward march of
the ever-encroaching sea.

84 THE EAST ANOLIAE; OR,

8T. STEPHEN’S, NORWICH, CHURCHWARDENS’
ACCOUNTS.

In vol. ix. p. 255, of the Eati Anglian there is a note as to t^
origin of the Christian name Enipe, given to Mr. Gnbbett. In
Tacolneston Church, Norfolk, there are the following inscriptions
(partly given in Farrer’s Church Heraldry of Norfolk) which explain
how the two names came to be united : —

On the Weit Wall.

“ Near this place are deposited the remains of Edmund Knipe,
Esq., formerly of this parish and late of Heigham near Norwich, who
departed this life March 2nd, 1673, in the 83rd year of his age. He
married Mary, da. and coheiress of Henry Burroughs, gentleman, by
whom he had twelve children. Mary, his only surviving daughter,
married John Goodman, Esq., Alderman of the City of Norwich. Hie
daughter Ann married the son of George Gobbett, of the said city,
Alderman, and by him had issue Mary and Knipe, and di^
January 22nd, 1736, aged 22 years. Reader, wouldst thou have
more. The day shall declare thyself to Angels and to men. Thomai
Enipe Gobbett, son of the abovesaid Enipe Gobbett and Jane hie
wife, daughter of Thomas Woode, Esq., late of Bracon Ash, died of
the small-pox by inoculation. 12th of April, 1762, in the fourth year
of his age, and was here interred with the other branches of the
family. R.I.P.”

On the North Wall of the Chancel.

“William Enipe, Counsellor- at-Law, who died Dec. 3rd, 1769,
aged 53; and also for Anne his wife, who died Jan. 13th, 1762,
aged 39.”

On the Floor at the West End.

“ In memory of Enipe Gt>bbett, Esq., Lieutenant Colonel of the
West Norfolk Militia, and one of his Majesty’s Justices of the Peace
for the County. He was chosen Alderman of the Citv of Norwich in
1768, served the office of Sheriff the same year, and that of Mayor in
1771. Departed this life Oct. 13th, 1791, aged 55 years.”

“ To the memory of Miss Maria Gobbett, youngest daughter of
Enipe Gobbett, Esq., Lt.-Col. of the West Norfolk Regiment and
Alderman of Norwich. She died July 16th. 1790, in her 22nd year.”

There is also another slab inscribed to “ Henry Enipe, who
departed this life the 30th day of March, Anno Dom. 1775.”

It thus appears that John Goodman, who formerly carried on
business in St. Stephen’s Street, on the site now occupied by Messrs.
Harwell & Sons, married Mary, daughter of Edmund Enipe. Ann
Goodman married the son of George Gobbett, and their son was named
Enipe, being given his grandmother’s maiden name as his Christian
name, and he also inherited his grandfather’s business, having his
private residence at Tacolneston. One of the monuments also com¬
memorate the fact that inoculation for small-pox was in use in 1762.

Bill,” and in the churchwardens’ accounts “ a bill indent^.” It was signed by the parson and
generally by the churchwardens. Those preserved at Ipswich date from 1711 to 1812. Sometimes
the bundle for a year (Easter to Easter) is missii^, and sometimes the biU for a pa^oular parish is
missing from the bundle. Each year’s billsaretied up in sepeuate bundles, but the bills themselves
are arranged in no definite order. The good preservation of these records is greatly due to the
interest and personal labours bsatowed upon them by Mr. O. Jacob of the Suffolk Aradsaeonry
Registry, whose courteous help I am glad to have an opportunity of acknowledging.

Hawes Family of Walsham-lb- Willows, Suffolk. Portraits. 1
— Can anyone give me information respecting a collection of portraits g
(oil pictures) of this family, which was said to be in existence about E
the year 1854? At that date a Beccles medical man (long since |l
dead) spoke of having seen the portraits in question. The Hawes I
family were land owners in Walsham-le-Willows from the time of I
Edward III. up to the middle of the eighteenth century. Has any- I
one now living seen these portraits or any of them, and if so, where ? jl

Walshah.

Pewter Stoup or Baptismal Basok (?). — In the course of some I
notes by Mr. 0. P. Allix on the restored Church of St. Mary, Swafi- |
ham Prior, Cambs, mention was made of an " original pewter stoup,” I
having a handle upon which is engraved ” Sts Marie.” The “stoup" I
was some time since found among other disused church goods, and is u
now said to have been “restored to it» place on the iouth tcall of the
Sanctuary." Is there any evidence that a church possessing such
remarkable stone work contented itself with a “ pewter stoup ” ? Is
it not far more likely that the “ stoup ” is really a baptismal bason,
similar in character to the examples already noted in the £att Anglian
(vol. ix., 133, 181, 341.; vol. x., 79).? What authority is there for
stating that “ its place ” is “ the south wall of the Sanctuary ” ?

NOTES AND QUERIES, ETC.

THE VISIONS OF EICHAED ALLINGTON.

The last testament of Eichard Allington of Lincoln’s Inn, son of
the elder Sir Giles Allington of Horsheath in Cambridgeshire, and his
dying confession give a vivid insight into the mental workings of a
devout and cultured man in the early days of Queen Elizabeth. They
are almost too sacred for mere antiquarian reading. But the light
which they throw upon the religious thought of the country, at a time
when the evolution of the Church of England, as we now see it, was
almost completed, appeals alike to the historian and the theologian.
The physician too, the psychologist, and the student of human nature
will find much to excite their interest in the quaintly worded but most
graphic narrative.

! Eichard Allington was of distinguished ancestry. Sir Giles, his
father, was knighted at Windsor by Henry the Eighth on that Trinity
I Sunday when Charles the German Emperor was made Knight of the
j Garter. Sir Giles Allington, the younger, his grand-nephew, married
a grand-daughter of the great Lord Burleigh. Eichard Allington’s
wife was sister to Sir William Cordell, Master of the Eolls. His social
position and his learning would, by themselves alone, give interest to
his will, evidently written by his own hand. In the transcript in the
ancient folio at Somerset House, attention is at once attracted to it by
the drawing of a crucifix on the margin of the page. The reason for
this device is clearly explained when we find the testator assuring land
to Dr. Scott, late Bishop of Chester; Mr. Feckenliam, late Abbott of
Westminster; Dr. Cole, late Dean of St. Paul’s; and Mr. Boxall, late
Secretary to Queen Mary, to be devoted to some foundation for the
“ lively remembrance of the passion and death of Christ, especially in
giving thanks for our redemption thereby.” And then he adds :
“For I, moste vile and vnworthie wretche, in mine infanciehave received
such ineffable, peculier and speciall compfort by a picture of the crosse
and Christe nailed thereon appearing to me in speciall wise and
manner, sundry tymes at one place and always in one sort as before,
that I had never yett been able to have given codigne thanckes for the
same.”

These words were written in June, 1561. The confession which
follows, which records something of his delirium as well as his
religious life, was made on the 22nd of November of the same year,
“ aboute viii of the cloke at night,” before a number of the clergy
whom he had called together “ to discharge his conscience and yeilde
himself whollie to Allmighty God.”

“ Masters,” he began, “ seeinge I most nedes dye, suffer me to
speke vntill I be deade. For Christ’s passion’s sake praye continually
for me uppon your knees. Pray, pray. Praye.”

“Nev' man hathe had more especial tokens of God’s singular
graces, at often and sundrie times shewed vnto him, as I have
hade, and so little regarded them as I have done. When I was a
childe I was brought vp w**" a good father and mother, whome ye
kuowe, who dulie vsed vs children vertuislie, and kept vs for one hower
or two everie dale & moruinge to praiers ; and then when praiers was

done to o' bokes. And afterwarde we were wonte to goe to playe into
an orchard nere adjoyninge ynto my father's house, where as often
times for the space of thre yere there appered vnto me, in a thike hedge,
a goodlie & a comfortable vision. I well remembre, frome tenne yeree
olde vnto thirtene, there appeared to me the verie image of o' savio*
Jhesus Christe, as he suffred his blessed passion vppon the cros
image appered vnto me veri livelie, and that veri often, so loving k
tend'lie as ever any eartheli man would desier or wisshe, w'** I did eu
more kepe veri secrete vnto my selfe, io^ my great comfort & consolcSn.
Then not longe aft' I came to London & at the last was maried ; sith
w'*" tyme, I assure you, I haue offended my Ijord God & Saiou^ Christ
so sure & manifold, by committing so abhominable vsurie, that I am
afraid I shalbe condemned eternallie. Indede one great oceasion
was because I never gave my selfe to praye. Thus my consiens
streving w*** my selfe brought me to SImlis (numberless) troubles of
mind, so that nev' man was in suche case. And being in this great
treble, at the last the selfesame vision appered vnto me agayn, and
put me in remembranc agayne of God’s speciall grace before shewed
vnto me ; and also of many other things ; willing me to leve of the
worlde & the busines therof and not to trouble my self so mouch
there w^*" all. Sithen the w'** tyme I assure you I have gone aboute to
leve of all trobles of the law & mine office also & not to folowe the
studie of the lawe againe ; and so to haue leved more quietlie w^ that
that o' Lord hade send me. Nowe good masters praye stille & I will
shew e you veri strange things. The second night aft' I fell sick, being
in my bed, brode awake, and as I thought all my folkes being aslepe
here in my chamb' there appeared vnto me fearfull things like to
theses poppets, they ran vp and downe my chamber & at last, being ,
merveluse sore afraide, they came vnto me ronde about my bede i
vppon my bed, polled me and tossed me, & so vexed me as I was
never in my life so sore trobled. I was almost brought to vtf
despaircbn. Yet at the last, remembrnge w“* my selfe the goods
grases that my Lord and Savio' had shewed vnto me, I sayed vnto
myself. O good Lord what do theis things meane? What should I
do ? With that there apered vnto me my vision agayne, w'** shewed
vnto me in writing all the vsurie that ever I had recevid in all my life
so playne that I red it, & indeed the sommes were true g named everi
man of whome I had recevid it : as of one M' Wilecok this moche,
of my Lorde Scrope thus moche, of M' ffynnes thous moche,
also what 1 had recevid of Spaniards, ffrenche men & Italians
and suche like. At the last I made answer vnto my vision & said,
O God all theis things are true which shall I do ? Then my vision
made answer and comforted me, comanding me first to pay all the
vsuri money againe to everye man as he had shewed me ; w'** came
to an x'viij*' ; and for the vi‘‘ w'** I had received of Spaniards, Italians,
& ffrenche men, he willid, by cause I kiiowe not where they dwell,
to geve it to poore psons & good men that were in prison. Masters I
cannot tell of what religion you be of that be here, nor I care not,
for I speak the truth ; and indeed I have geven the some all redi and
will paye everi man as my vision comannded me, and do intende, God

willing, to send for them if I leve so longe. If not I will desire the
M' of the Holies that he will see it discharg and paied oute, that my
soule may here no perell for it. Then my vision comforted me more
& more and wold shewe me ix psames w'** if I did saye everi day I
should neu' siune againe mortall ; for 1 assure you I have not vsed
myself to prayer as I was woul to do, nor nev"^ went to the Churche at
tyme of comon prayer bycause my prayers did condem my consiens.
The psalmes were those : ‘ Miserere mei deus,’ ‘ beati omnes, qui
timent,’ ‘ Domiiiu, ad Domncoh con tribula,’ ‘ Leuaui oculos meos
in montem,’ ‘Nisi quia dominus erat in nobis,’ ‘qui confidant in
Domino,’ ‘iudica me deus & disserne causas meas,’ ‘illumina oculos
meos,’ ‘ Domine non est Exalte cor meas’; & so my vision left me
sith w'^'‘ tyme I have had as moch quietnes as any man can wisshe &
have seene suche comfortable sights as nether hart can thinke or
tongue can express. Nowe good S' John saye the vj“” psalmes and
Due Jhu Xpe w^ gloriosa passio. He said (these) him selfe ; and
then he thought he should have died ; but revived againe and fell to
praing still and gave him self wholie to quietnes.”

Hichard Allington died the next day. This his confession is
recorded in one of the Harleian MSS., with much more that he said
and did during his last hours. It is solemn reading. The psalms
he repeated have afforded consolation to many a sufferer during the
last nineteen centuries. His wife, a wealthy heiress who survived him
very many years and made no second marriage, erected a beautiful
and costly monument to his memory in the Bolls chapel, where he
was interred, and was herself buried by his side. When it was
demolished a year or two ago — the tomb, and the vault beneath it,
were left untouched — and were incorporated with the newer section
of the Kecord Office recently erected. He left three daughters,
one of whom married Sir John Savage, and another Sir John
Stanhope. Of what nature was the usury he so greatly deplores?
He had but “ taken of needle men the more somme for longer dales.”
And what, it may be asked, were his theological leanings, as evidenced
by the documents we have quoted? We think it may be answered
that they were those of one who accepted alike historical Christianity
and such moderate reformation as the times were bringing about. In
the colloquies which accompany his confession he deprecated prayers
to the Saints. He cared not whether the clergy who stood around
him were of Marian or Elizabethan leanings. Only he bid them say
(apparently) the penitential psalmes and other ancient devotions —
and his last words to them, if one may so gather, were ‘‘ Pray,
pray, praye.” _ j j Muskett.

Norwich, and widow of Wyndham,” married Laurence Ball in 1559. He died in
1561, and soon after the widow married Thomas Blunt. She subsequently married
Alexander Nowell, the famous Dean of St. Paul’s, who in his will speaks of her in
high terms. She died circa 1612, but there is nothing in her will to connect her
with the Hastes of Norwich. It would be interesting to gather further particulars.

THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT IN PARISHES.

Curious Procedure in regard to Hire of Labour.

The examination of individuals by Justices of the Peace with a
view of determining the precise place of abode or legal settlement of
migratory folk, formed a feature of the old Poor Law system of this
country, which not infrequently displayed a side of much singularity.
Documents of this byegone period, still found in the parish chests of
our country parishes, set out the varying conditions under which
settlement was urged, claimed, or enforced, often in terms that seem
unduly harsh, and on lines that have some appearance of inhumanity
in actual working. The restraints occasioned by the ties involved by
the pursuit of an industry (which gave rise to the phrase, “ the law of
settlement impedes the freedom of labour ”), find suitable illustration
in the paper writing, of which the following, deposited with a few other
documents relating to settlement matters in the church chest of
Hampton, Cambs, is a copy.

The law of settlement pressed with undue severity upon labour,
and it was evidently to meet such cases as the following that it was
urged the place of settlement ought to be determined by the question
of occupation rather than that of habitation.

That about a week after plough Monday before last he was let by
his fiather Thomas Norman to hire to Stephen Day of Oakington in
the said (bounty ffarmer to serve him in the business of husbandry
from time until the following Michaelmas which service he performed
and that a few days before Michaelmas last he was let by his said
fiather to the said Mr. Day for one shilling and S'* week for a month
from Michaelmas and 50 shillings from that time until the next
Michaelmas — that about May last he received one pound 6* of his
wages — that about a fortnight ago his master called him into the
house and said he must pay him away because he should not belong
to the Town — that his master then paid him 3 or 4 and 20 shillings as
the wages due to him up to that time— that he wanted more money
but his Master would not pay him more and that he staid 3 days after
that and then went away and has not been in his Master’s service
since.

• Perhaps he was a minister placed here by order of the Parliament. Newton
was joined with Hauxton for ecclesiastical purposes, hut the Parliamentary Com¬
missioners reported that they were not fit to be united, being far distant. Thomas
Lynsdell was Vicar of Hauxton at this time.

became extinct in 1727, when the estates passed to the Stevensons.

* Samuel and William Kempton were the sons of Robert Kempton (whose grand¬
father settled here) and Margaret, great grand-daughter of Sir Anthony
Wingfield, K.G. ( Vititation, Harleian Society).

t An annigerous family having several branches in this part of the county.
They were related to the Marvells. One of them was Recorder of Cambridge.

J In 1634 Greville Vemey, gent., was heir apparent of Margaret, widow of
Richard Vemey, Kt., who had estates in Steeple Morden and Longstanton. He
died in 1642, and his son Greville in 1648. Addit. MSS. 5838, p. 81, and
Clutterbuck’s Herti.

$ In 1622 he held 120 acres of land, called Phipps, in this village.

II He was the grandson of another Thomas, a Master in Chancery, who had s
grant of arms in 1557, and afterwards settled here. There are inscriptions relating
to them in the church (see Eatt Anglian, vol. v., p. 362).

H Lived at the Great House, Swaffham Prior.

** He gave evidence against Richard Peacock, ejected from the Vicarage of
Swaffham S. Cyriac in 1644.

ft This family had been here for three generations, and came from Fincham in
Norfolk {Vititation, Harleian Society).

REPLIES.

Baptismal Bason (p. 79, &c.). — Sir Edmund Ashfield, who
held one of the two impropriate parsonages of Chesham, Bucks,
“ gave to the pish att his owne charge one faire flont of Latten w*** a
greate cover of the same mettle graven and cutt And also a faire
frame of timber for ytt to stand in w'** cost him xlvj' viij^”

“ The old font bason & the upper shanke of the stock ” was sold
to one Thomas Dickens for 3«. This “bason” may have been a
baptismal bason or the lining within “ the upper shanke.” (Vide
Antiquary, vol. xxxv. p. 19). The instance is worth recording side by
side with those already given in the East Anglian

The Stoup at Swaffham Prior. — The “Stoup” at Swaffham
Prior turns out to be of the nature of a flagon, and can have had no
possible connection with baptismal use. As it appears to have
occasionally been placed over a fire, it may not unlikely have been
used as a ringers' jug. “Its place” in the “South Wall of the
Sanctuary ” is undoubtedly a mistaken one. If ever in use for
ringers’ “ hot-pot,” or the like, it is clearly out of place there.

QUERY.

FOWLMERE NOTES.— THE GREAT MOOR.

(Continued from p. 26).

It is worthy of note, if you ask the old people, “Where was the
mere ? ” that not one will understand your meaning. Mere or mer
appears in the name, but has no place otherwise in the local
Tocabulary. It is, for Fiiwlinere folk, always “the Moor" or “the
Great Moor.” Professor Skeat has told me that this is only to be
expected, as “no one ever usee ‘mere’ now except in poetry or
locally.” But. possibly from the present fashion of visiting the
Scob^h Moors, which are rough and broken hill-sides, and from our
hearing of the Devon Moors as great stretches of rounded hill, most
people of this generation are inapt to connect the word with a marsh
or fen. “The mo>>r” is a good Anglo Saxon survival, which our
people have forgotten to associate otherwise than geographically with
“ Fulmer."

We may also note that casual travellers, labouring along the
unmetalled thoroughfare between Cambridge and London, were
prevented by the very “ lay of the land” from associating a “mere”
with our “ foul ” prefix. The rise of the ground and the cottage
which occupied, and still occupies, the frontage to the turn of the
road, effectually screen the mere or moor from the wayfarer. Seeing
no mere, or sheet of water, with its flocks of wild-fowl paddling
among the sedges, they accounted for the final syllable of our name
in their own way, as the Sussex yokel accounted for Goodwin Sands
by Tenterden Steeple. The mere was not in evidence ; the mtre was
only too obtrusive : and out of the fulness of their shattered livers
their mouths spake.

Yet if they had but walked from their inn some hundred yards,
and passed up Barr Lane on to the Butts, they would have seen the
ancient glory of our village outstretched before them. To-day we
can only mark where it used to spread its waters, but old men love to
tell of their young days upon the Great Moor.

The great extent of the old Moor is, perhaps, best appreciated
from the Butts, or the further ascent of Farthing Hill. Thence we
see the flat bed of the ancient waters reaching, north-westerly, far
into Melbourn parish. About 300 acres of it, and no more, were iu
Fowlmere Parish. Certainly as much, if not a greater, area of its
swamp must have been in contiguous Melbourn. But so far as its
geoj-raphy belongs to us, the better view is. I think, obtained by
passing up Moor Lane on to the old bed of the swamp, whence our
view is up the whole length of its bed. On the left, southerly,
“Farthing Hill” shoulders the ancient fen. Just where we stand
some slighter elevations break up the dead level into bits of swamp,
still rushy and damp. On the right a modest elevation carries the
road to Melbourn. Ahead of us, Melbournwards, we catch a glimpse
of the old mill that stands on “ the river.” which always flowed
from the Moor towards the Bhee over against Barrington. Just in
front of us the Moor is in cultivation ; and long lines ot ditch, with

I

114

THE EAST AHGLIAN ; OR,

here and there a bushy ozier, reach across its level, to give an outfall
to its waters. By the further shoulder of “Farthing Hill” a grove
of black poplars marks the site of the hithermost watercress bed;
and the darker belt beyond shows us the furthest limits of the
Moor in our parish over against “ Black Peak,” where the old Brant-
ditch from Heydon Hill plunged its rampart into the morass. Just
here it is that the perennial springs feed “ the river,” as the folk
proudly call the only constant stream that concerns the parish, though
it, indeed, only belongs to us under the right bank.

Such, then, is the view of the Great Moor as we get it from
Moor Lane : a triangular strip gradually narrowed between two
moderate elevations, dissected by ditches, and plotted out among three
different farms — the Manor Farm, the Bury, and the Lower — all
three at one time part of the manorial domain, but now alienated.

To reach the watercress beds and the springs, we must go back
by Barr Lane to Barr Field, along the footpath which once led to
Melbourn over “Farthing Hill,” and which now divides the manor
from the Bury farm-land, to the crest of the hill ; then sharp to the
right down the driftway from the farmstead, and we stand on the
Moor, hard by the poplars we have already seen from afar. Bough
grass, wild mignonette, and other weeds and wildflowers, grow thinly
on the plain, here unsuited for agriculture. It must have been the
deepest part of the mere, for no alluvial or vegetable deposit covers
the chalk sufficiently to carry the plough. Here and there as we pass
from ditch to ditch will be found pat<hes of peat, showing where
sedges must at one time have given harbour to the teal, and bittern,
and duck, and heron, and “ smale foules.” But for the most part
this upper end of the Great Moor is suited for no cultivation, save
that of watercress, which has here developed into a tliriving industry.
The beds, dug down into the chalk, stretch in two main lines, north¬
eastward. towards the mill ; the one line following the main drain
through the heart of the Moor from nigh these poplars ; the other
starting from the springs that feed “the river,” follow the course of
that stream. Each bed, and there are perhaps a dozen of them, is
fed by gushing springs, for, I am told, a bore has but to be put down
for about 10 ft. to strike a never-failing supply of water. From these
beds a positively enormous trade is done with Manchester, London,
and other large towns that hunger for the green things of the earth.
At “ the river ” head, upon Melbourn ground, stands a dark grove of
ash and holme-oak and pine, that gives a touch of picturesque gloom
to the otherwise somewhat featureless scene, whose general effect is
mainly that of a breezy unconveutiouality.

The great Moor was only drained and enclosed in 1846 ; the Act
for “ Foulmire Inclosure” receiving Royml Assent, May 20th, 1845.
Such enclosure had for fifty years been merrily advancing over the
moors and commons of England. It was justified, no doubt, by the
mounting prices of wheat; but the motive stimulated thereby was,
I fear, the rapacity of the large landowners. In the shallower parts
of our Great Moor, towards Paddock End and Church End, certain
hummocks and islets had always been cultivable, and eager minds

now speculated ou the agricultural wealth drowned in the flood of
surrounding waters. The hopes thus raised were, no doubt, some¬
what dashed by the result : but, at any rate, rents are received, crops
grown, and labour employed where once the ruffs and reeves preened
their feathers. It is, however, questionable whether the gain to the
community be commensurate with the gain to the landlord. Old folk,
perhaps, as is the way of patriarchs, a little liable to be laudatoret
Uii'p'it u acti, still turn their eyes regretfully up the tide of years, and
speak of the happier days when the waters covered the face of the
Great Moor, One and all of them declare the labouring class were
better off then than now; and an old gentleman. Master of one
of the Cambridge Colleges, who recently passed to his rest, assured
me that he had no doubt of it. Then everyone could keep a cow or
two, pastured on the common and the moor under the village herdman.
Then a man out of work could always get a casual livelihood reed¬
cutting, or fowling, or leech-gathering, or frog-fishing. Then the
labourer could put on his table ducks and geese of his own raising,
as well as the wild waterfowl that homed and bred upon the Great
Moor. And all affirm that to-day’s advance in wages is not
compensation enough for the free and common advantages of the old
time, when George the Fourth was Eling.

One old Gaffer, the senior of the village, whom at the age of 91
I committed to rest in the churchyard three years ago, used often to
chuckle over his youthful profits from the Great Moor : —

“ Yer zee, zur, the young gen’lemun from Cambridge used often
to send me word as how they wanted a day’s fowling in my punt on
the Moor. So I used to get ready for ’em, ha ! ha ! I used to go out
in my punt early in the mornin’, — oh ! lor, it du make me laff to think
on it, ha ! ha ! — an’ I used to bag four or five leash of duck or teal ;
ail’ then, — oh! lor, oh ! lor; ha! ha! I wor ready for ’em. Well, I
used to take ’em out, but never a shot did they get. Ter see I’d
sceart all the birds away, ha! ha! An’ arter pulling about up &
down, back’ards & forrards, it wor time for ’em to go back to College.
And when I'd got ’em ashore agin, I’d say to ’em, ‘ Now, luk ’ere,
young gen’lemen ; you’ve been pulling about for 2 or 3 hours, an’ you’ve
paid me like gen’lemen for my trouble, an’ it’ll never du for yer to
go back to Cambridge with never a bird to show for yer money.
Now, I’ve got a few wild-duck at ’ome as I don’t mind lettin’ you
young gen’lemen ’ave for a trifle,’ says I. Oh ! lor, oh ! lor, them
were good old times for us poor folk in them days, ha ! ha !

“No, zur; you’re right. O’ course the Cambridge gen’lemen
didn’t come every day. "What did I du on other days ? Why, there
was alius some’ut to be done, cuttin’ reeds for thatchin’, or shootin’
game for Cambridge Market. Or some days Muster Thurnall, from
Royston, he’d come over for an arternoon’s frog-fishin’ in my boat.
What wor them frogs like? Much like other frogs, only girt big
fellers & more yellow on the back. He an’ I used to catch a
mort o’ them. Then sometimes I used to go in an’ catch leeches.
How did I du that? Well, I used to take off my breeches an’ wade
in. Yer used to see ’em cornin’ at yer in thousands, girt black things,

in my boyhood, and of which we have heard already uot infrequent
mention, are one of the enigmas of natural history. Was he
indigenous, or was he acclimatised by man ? Kingsley, while leaving
the question open, seems disposed to the former, the Eneyelopedit
Britannira to the latter opinion.* But there he was in such quantity
as to give name to the eastermost corner of the Moor, near Moor Ijane,
which still is known as Frog’s Norton (north-end), and used to be
styled in good old English, Paddock Frog’s or Toad’s) End.
To-day there is nut one left, but I understand that there are pools in
Suffolk where he is still flourishing. Perhaps the strongest argument,
that with us he was indigenous, is the fact that no feudal lord ever
resided in this his manor, that no monastic house had ever auy footing
in the parish, and that his virtues were said to be unknown in our
neighbourhood until 1843.

Long years before the young gentlemen came with fowling piece
and punt-gun to till their bags with their boatman’s ready-shot game,
Fowlmere must have been a famous place for sport. If James the First
bad but left us a diary' of his doings when he came to Royston Palace on
frequent hawking vent, we should, no doubt, have heard how he and
bonnie Prince Charlie (afterwards King and Martyr), and Steenie his
pampered favourite, rode by Melbouru Heath, the King upon that
wonderful cantering nag of his, to the Black Peak or to Farthing Hill
for a flight at the quarry that rose from our Qreat Moor. And ^uire
Aldred, no doubt, sometimes met his Majesty at Brantditch, and set
his fieldmen to rouse the quarry from the sedge and reeds; and
Charlie and Steenie galloped in their sport across the hill to Triplow
Heath, whence later in one fateful year stout Cornet Joyce set out
with his dragoons upon a memorable ride to Holmby House to hale the
King over this very ground to prison and the block. And then the
King and his Court would ride buck to Royston Palace along the road
which Charles wa.s one day to follow, after that Holmby visit of
Cornet Joyce, a prisoner of the Ironsides, whose tents were pitched
in Fowlmere l>ene.

Can we doubt that when King Edward the Fourth, on his way to
Bury, halted at Fulmer and held a Court of Justice and issued writs
therefrom, the table of Plantagenet smoked with toothsome game
from off the same Great Moor ? That the Veres, once Lords of the
Manor, rode hither from Castle Camps or Newsalls for a day’s sport
with their falcons? That Aluric the Manor Ixird, tempore ^git
Edwardi (the Confessor) sometimes has had his pastime therein?
That even Boadicea, passing with her scythed chariots of war along

* Baron von Hugel recently told me that they were probably introduced
by the Romans, as their bones are met with in Roman middens.

a few moments to amuse herself with spurt on Foulmere Moor?

These, it may be said, are vain imsginings. Well, gone are
these princes of old ; gone are the yuung gentlemen from Cambridge;
gune are the punters and leech gatherers ; and gone are the wildfowl,
the frogs, and the Moor, Imagination, and imagination only, can
picture the scene that once occupied the present dreary level. Here
great pools of flashing water; there great clumps of waving reed
and yellow iris flag. The waters rippled by some gliding coracle or
punt, or by the fowl, swimming, diving, and stretching their wing;s ;
the reeds resounding with the twittering of birds and the croak of
frogs, and overhead, across the dull gre}’ sky, would come great
flights of geese, whirring and whistling, to plunge headlong in a flash
of spray u|)on the shimmering pools of Fowlmere Moor.

“PASSIVE RESISTANCE” IN FORMER DAYS.

In a book of Parish Accounts belonging to St. Peter’s, Ipswich,
it is recorded how that in 1721 a rate was made according to the Act
(30th Eliz.) for the support of a Stipendiary Minister at the rate of
!«. 6d. in the pound, to be paid half-yearly, which scheme appears
for some time after to have been continually resorted to for the
purpose of increasing the Inctmibent’s small income. It would
appear from the following that the rate was ofttimes exacted from
contentious parishioners by a distraint upon their effects.

“October y« 5“* 1706. Received of Horseman Moliner & Thomas
Bacon and John Clarke Late Churchwardens for the year 1704 to
1705 a Warming pan & pewter dish & piece of Bolster Tique &

by y* Bayliffs & portemen for y‘ maintenance of y‘ Minister and
repairs of y' Church of Eliz. Gosling of the parish and is all the

THE EDGAR FAMILY OF THE RED HOUSE,
IPSWICH, AND THEIR INTEREST IN A FACULTY PEW
IN ST. MARGARET’S CHURCH.

The family is described “ Edgarorum, de Glemham Magna sive
Boreale, de Framsden, Gyppeswick, de Brantham, de Combes, Stow-
market, Dynnington and Eye in Countie Suff.”

The ^gars affirm that they are descended from Edgar Atheling.
It is doubtless an ancient family, and can trace descent, with some
slight interruption, from one John Edgar, of the City of Dunwich,
which he left in a.d. 1237, and settled in North Glemham, the
Manor of which was granted to William Edgar in the 37th year
of Henry VIII. (1545). Thomas Edgar, Esq., Recorder of Ipswich,
eldest son of Lionel Edgar, of Framsden, born 20th November, 1602,
married Mary, daughter and heiress of Philip Powle, Esq., of London,
1635, died April 12th, 1692, at Grimstone House, in Tower Street,
Ipswich, where he had lived, caused the Red House to be built in 1658
(the wings were added at a later date — the middle of the 1 8th century)
for his third son, Thomas, previous to his marriage with Agatha
Mileson.

This Thomas Edgar, jun., who was a Barrister-at-Law, died at
the Red House of small puz, and was buried in the Church of
St. Mary at the Tower.

NOTS8 AND QUKKIB8, Kl'C.

119

Mileson Edgar was baptized 13th August, 1677, at St. Margaret’s
Church. He died November 6th, 1713, and was buried in the chancel
of St. Mary at the Tower.

The family is singularly fortunate in the possession of portraits
of its various members and connections, some sixty in number. Most
of the paintings are very fine works of art and of great interest and
value. Several are by Gainsborough. Among the other artists are
Bogarth, Hudson. Sir Peter Lily, Sir Godfrey Eneller, Dahl,

P. Mercier, Cole, Vender, Meulen and Smart of Ipswich. Two by
Lily of Sir Orlando Bridgman and his wife are specially striking.
There is one also by the same artist, of his eldest son. Lord Bradford.

A noticeable portrait is one on the staircase, by Sir Antonio Mori.

I: represents Sir Thomas Challoner weighing the Bible against the
spread of the Inquisition.

The old Arms of this family were : — Gules, a chevron Or between
three leopards’ faces Ar. Probably there is an allusion in this to the
Saxon origin of their family, the leopards’ faces being the insignia of
the Saxon kings and used by the Normans until Henry III. A new
Coat was assumed by patent, 37th Henry YIII., 1545.

The late Sir William Page Wood (Lord Hatherly), Lord High
Chancellor, resided in the Red House from August, 1872, to July 10th,
1881, and ifrequently attended divine service at St. Margaret’s Church
(chiefly in the afternoon), occupying the open bench which had been
assigned to the Red House in lieu of a faculty pew, demolished at
the time of the restoration of the Church. The following from the
parochial records relating to the ^ant of this pew is of special
interest : — '

SOME FOUETEENTH CENTURY DOCUMENTS RELATING
TO HERRINQSWELL, CO. SUFFOLK.

These documents, which came into my possession some few years
ago, are in an extremely good state of preservation and have suffered
very little from the lapse of time. They are numbered from one to
seven (the sixth is now missing), and in date cover the whole of tlie
century, though at wide intervals.

The earliest (which is here printed) is dated 1304 and is,
I think, of a kind not often met with, being a “ terrier,” or
“schedule,” of the various strips in the open field forming a small
* “ parcel ” of land bought by a certain John Wysman, and by him

conveyed to trustees fur the benefit of himself and his wife, as noted
in the first and last clauses. It was probably appended to the deed
relating to the purchase or perhaps to the enfeoffment. It seems to
me possible that we have here a complete virgate changing hands,
the total area amounting, as far as I have been able to reckon it, to
about twenty-five acres and a messuage I am nut aware, however,
of the normal size of the virgate in this district.

IThe remaining five, which I hope will appear in these pages later
on, are records of the Manorial Courts, dated 1318, 1319, 137U, 1396,
and 1399 respectively, and contain many interesting entries.

I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Rogers of the
l|j University Library, Cambridge, for his kind assistance in deciphering
I some of these documents.

In the Journalt of the Home of Lorde, vol. vi., pp. 279-82, is the
ordinance for “raising £66.666. 13*. Ad. by way of loan for the better
enabling of our brethren of Scotland for our assistance and defence
in the common cause of our religion and liberty.’’ The county of
Cambridge with the Isle of Ely was to raise £2000, and responded
with £2154. 6s. Ad. Surely a remarkable achievement ! The ordinance
gives no details about assessment or collection, so we may assume that
the old methods of raising subsidy or loan for a king was followed.
But certain general directions are given. No one was to be forced

to lend unless his means exceeded £1000. The greater loan was to be
set upon the most able and richest men, and those who had not “ upon
this or the like occasion of money manifested their good affections to
the public.” Power of distraint was given towards those refusing
to pay, which distraint was to be made in the daytime, and distrainers
were to be allowed 2«. in the £ of every sum for which distraint was
made. The treasurers in London were Bichard Waring and Michael
Herring. The Parliamentary Committee were to nominate in each
county, city, or great town, three or more persons of rank, who were
to nominate two or more persons in each hundred. These local people
were between them to make a return to the committee of all persons
having £1000, and who had not voluntarily sent their contribution.
In the lists the phrase “ by him voluntarily sent ” occurs frequently.

Ths Seiztire op a Bride in Church. — At 8. Margaret’s Church,
Ipswich, Patrick May and Mary Capon were married by licence,
July 27th, 1826, by the Rev. C. W. Fonnereau, who accounts for the
a)>8ence of the woman’s signature in a note to the effect that “ Mary
Capon was prevented signing her name by the forcible seizure of her
person by her father, who took her out of Church after her marriage.”
How far the contract was imperilled is open to doubt. It would be
interesting to learn what steps, if any, were taken to procure the
woman’s signature ; and also of the attitude of the husband conse¬
quent on the father’s. action. May and Capon are well-known names
in Ipswich.

QUERIES.

THE EAST AHOLIAH; OR,

Mr. Tottnsbhd, a Minister in Norwich. — This worthy is
mentioned in that remarkable compilation, “ A Retrospective-glass
for, the Quakers” (p. 493), by Francis Bugg, who was Registrar to
the quarterly meeting held at Haddenham in the Isle of Ely towards
the close of the seventeenth century. Mr. Townsend, after defending
the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, was assailed by George Whitehead

in the most insulting terras : — “ Blind beast, ignorant of God .

thou priest, Townsend, art reserved in everlasting chains. &c., &c.”)
What is known of Mr. Townsend ? It is clear enough that suffering
for “ conscience sake ” was not all on the side of the persecuted
Quakers.

“Tratler.” — In the Parish Register of St. Margaret’s, Ipswich,
is the following burial entry : — “ 1795. John Steward a Trayltr from
the Buck — poor — December the 16.” Was the word “trayler” ever
used in the sense of “traveller” or “tramp.” which is piobably the
meaning here ? The Running Buck is a well known hostelry in the
parish. _

A “Record” History of Suffolk. — We have much satisfaction in calling
attention to proposals lately put forward by Dr. Copinger for the issue, by subscrip¬
tion, of a work that cannot inil to prove of the utmost value and importance to the
County of Suffolk, and particularly to those who are workers in this special field of
local research. Dr. Copinger very properly regards its history as incomplete, until
much more exactly disposed of by reference to records and other documents that
are practically beyond the reach of many students owing to the difSculty of ascer¬
taining their whereabouts. This veritable history of Suffolk will be gleaned mainly
from MSS Charters and Rolls in the British .Museum and other public and private
depositories, the State papers. Record Commissioners’ publications, &c., Ac. It is
estimated that the work will contain upwards of 100,000 references, and will include
a bibliography of Suffolk. It will be seen that this “ History of Suffolk’’ will form,
in a very real sense, a “ record ” compilation, the like of which has never so much
as been attemptei either in East Anglia or outside its borders. Dr. Copinger’s
laborious undertaking is one that certainly merits grateful acknowledgment, and we
trust, if not already the case, that the limited edition will be wholly taken up. ’I'he
work will' l>e in five vols., each of 400 pp., to be issued at the suWription price of
£1. It. per vol. Dr. Copinger also contemplates the issue, through Mr. Fisher
Unwin, of a Manorial History of Suffolk, which may well find a place by the side
of Mr. J. J. Muskett’s valuable work, Suffolk Manorial Familiet.

\ CAMBRIDGESHIRE HEIRESS OF THE EIGHTEENTH
CENTURY.

The Rev. W. Cole, in the ninth volume of his Collections (Add.
MSS., 5810) relates the following interesting story of the two sons of
a Cambridgeshire farmer who mounted to wealth and position.

Ik Wendt Church.

On a large freestone just in the middle, about 3 ft. from the step
of the altar, is the inscription : —

“H.S.E. I quod mortale fuit | Thomse Revell | Generosi | Qui

obiit Martii i | anno | | 1 jtixti mariti cineres |

Maria Revell I quee obiit Aprilis 28— .£t 78.” |

Mr. Revell was steward to the present Lord Sandys, and has a
son in the same employ. Another of his sons is Thomas Revell, Esq.,
Member for Dover Port, and has a place under the Government.

Writtm later.

“This Thomas and Mary Revell at first were both servants in the
family of Mr. Nightingale of Kneesworth in this county. They
afterwards married and took a farm at Shengay, under my lord Orford,
who, taking a liking to their two eldest sons, Thomas and Russell,
gave them an English education, and got them both places in the
Victualling Office. The eldest, Thomas, was Member of Parliament
for Dover, and dying (1752) at Bath, as I think, was buried at or near
Leatherhead in Surrey, leaving an only daughter behind him, to
whom he left about £120,000 or £130,000. It is thought she is to be
married to the present Duke of Bridgewater, her cousin, for her
father married a cousin, or as some thought a natural daughter of
the late Duke of Bridgewater.* He was exceedingly afflicted with
the gout all his life, as was his brother Russell. In case his daughter
dies unmarried he has left all his wealth got out of the public to the
Hon. Mr. Pelham. His brother, Russell Revell, had a place in the
Victualling Office, and lived many years in Port Mahon, where he
amassed together about £40,000, which, leaving no children behind
him, though married formerly and parted from his wife who died
before him, he left to a cousin, one Mr. Gray, a Quaker of God-
manchester and a worsted garter weaver, though he had much nearer
relations to heir it, as in particular, an only daughter of a younger
brother who held a farm at Shengay, and who left about £2,000 to
his daughter, who is going to be married to Mr. Kilborne of Malden
against the consent of her uncle, which is sup|M)sed to be the occasion
of altering his will. He died at an hired house at Hodsdun, to which
he was just removed about September, 1752, and was buried very

grandly Id this church according to his desire, though not a relation
there to attend his funeral.”

In his will (P.O.C.) Thomas Bevell bequeathed to his sister
' Ann Warner £1,000; to his brother Bussell Bevell, for mourning,
200 guineas; to his neice Ann Bevell, £1,000; and to his nephew
Benry Warner, for mourning, 20 guineas. Some of the remaining
bequests show that this self-made man had many friends in the
highest ranks of society : — To the Earl of Scarborough, Lord Vere,
Thomas Whichcot, Esq., Samuel Egerton, Esq., William Cayley, Esq.,
Bichard Hall. Esq., to each 100 guineas; to the Hon. Mr. Pelham,
300 ‘guineas for a ring; to William Bivett of the Temple, Esq.,
20 guineas; to Sir Bichaid Lloyd, 20 guineas; to each of his
Executors, Samuel Egerton, Bussell Bevell, and Denham Street, Esq.,
of the Victualling Office, 300 guineas. All the residue — £120, 000 or
£130,000 according to Cole, or £200,000 according to the OentUmen’i
Magazint, vol. xxviii., p. 292 — he left to his daughter Jane, with
remainder, if she should die unmarried before the age of twenty-one,
to his brother Bussell Bevell and his niece Ann Bevell. and with
ultimate remainder to the Hospital for the Maintenance of Exposed
and Deserted Young Children.

The testator realised that in those days of abduction and forcible
marriage the position of his child after his death would be of no
little peril, and made careful provision for her being put at once in a
place of safety : — “ If it please God I should not recover my present
illness, I desire immediately after my decease, that my daughter may
be carried in my coach by the Bev. Mr. Warner and Mr. (Charles
Gascoigne Bale to my brother Bussell Bevell, Esq., at Hammersmith,
and delivered unto his charge as one of her guardians, and to
remain so until he and Samuel Egerton. Esq., her other guardian,
shall consult together and consider what will be most proper to be
done with her. And in case she immediately remain under their
own particular care, I then give them leave to make use of, if they
think fit. my house, late Dean of Hereford’s, in ('leveland Bow, ready
furnished as it now is, and rent free to them or either of them so long
as my daughter shall be with them.”

Bevell had, apparently, not succeeded so well by niere luck. At
any rate he appreciated the importance of y'outhful application to
study and work: — “I likewise make it my request to the said
guardians to keep my daughter for at least three or four years close
to her grammar and other necessary learning and working without
interruption by any unnecessary pleasure, because I look upon
pleasure and on learning to be incompatible things.”

But though strict in his ideas respecting education, he was by no
means niggardly with regard to the pecuniary provision he made for
her, directing his executors to allow her such “decent maintenance”
as they shall think proper, but “ not less than £300 a year till she
arrives at the age of 13, nor less than £-IOo from 13 to 14 years of age,
nor less than £600 from 14 to 15 years of age, nor less than £000
from 15 to 16 years of age, nor loss than £800 from 16 to 18 years of
age, nor less than £1,200 from 18 to 21 years of age.”

Probably the rumour of Miss Jane’s engagement to her cousin
was a false one. At any rate the marriage never came off, for the
Duke of Bridgewater, “the Father of British Inland Navigation,”
died unmarried in 1803, the last of his line. The happy man who
won the fair heiress, plus her £200,000, was ISir Qeorge Warren, K.B.,
the last male of an ancient family which had held the Estate of
Poynton in Cheshire almost uninterruptedly since it formed part of
Earl Warrenne’s extensive possessions at the time of Domesday.
But the union did not last long. Lady Warren was buried at
Stockport, 26th December, 1761, three years after her marriage, and
when but twenty-two years of age. Her only child, Elizabeth
Harriott, took the Poynton Estate in marriage to the last Viscount
Bulkeley, through whom it descended to the Vernon family, the
present owners. Doubtless, Miss Revell’s fortune proved very
acceptable to her husband, who rebuilt the Hall at Poynton on a
large scale, and made numerous other improvements on the estate.

HIDDEN TREASURE IN OLDEN TIMES.

The romance of buried treasure, in some form or another, is
continually with us, but it is seldom that the confines of reason and
common sense are so completely overstepped that the fascination
attached to its investigation- is lost in pitiable absurdity. Certainly
the search for hidden treasure is no new thing, but it probably has
never assumed the pseudo-character of hunting for that which is well
understood never to have been lost ! Much treasure was necessarily
hidden in the earth, in former days, mainly for security, and the
discovery from time to time of bullion, coin, and articles of value
never failed to arouse those who would fain traverse a royal road
to wealth. The senseless project recently set on foot by certain
enterprising newspaper proprietors, bent upon notoriety and self-
advertisement, in which a metal disc, or some like token, representing
particular value is hidden away, to be discovered by such as are
successful enough to follow a certain cue, has certainly the charm of
novelty, and is probably an original, if not a very brilliant device for
directing treasure into another channel than that supposed to be
intended.

Although it is reserved for the early days of the twentieth
century to strike this particular vein, yet the disturbance of the soil
and injury to property caused by the pursuit, together with the
ultimate punishment of the perpetrators, and the restraint of the
originators, bears some analogy to the course of events in former
times. It is recorded in the unpublished Rolls of the Rectory Manor
of Cottenhain, Cambridgeshire, that in the year 1487 Thomas Qygner,
Thomas King. Robert Leat, John Green, and Nicholas Reynolds were
each fined twelve pence for digging in tearch of silver without license

THE EAST ANOUAH ; OH,

Oil laud called “Jakes,” next to “Bigyng’s Croft end.” Doubtless
there was good ground for the exploration, and it is not unlikely that
the early Court Bolls of other mauors furnish similar particulars of
search and restraint. While there is no clue to the particular
character of the silver sought for at Cottenham in the fifteeuth
century, it is not a little curious that in the mouth of August, 1715,
nearly a thousand pieces of silver coin were found at Cottenham, upon
“London Hill,” about half-a-mile from Bampton, on what is now
known as the Bampton Boad. The coin was of the reign of Hen. II.,
and was discovered by a shepherd, who found it in a small earthen
vessel, green with age. Several people of the town, digging a foot or
two beneath the surface, are said to have found similar pieces of
money. This latter incident (fur which we are indebted to Miss
Parsons of Horseheath) is recorded in the Steel MSS., Topog. Cambe,
C. 1, Bodleian Library, Oxford, under Hampton, Camht.

It would be worth while to place other like instances on record in
these pages.

EXTRACTS FROM THE PARISH REGISTERS,
WENDY, CAMBS.

The oldest register, a small volume, 13 ins. by 5 ins., of about
twenty leaves of parchment, contains the baptisms, marriages, and
burials from 1550 to 1670 inclusive. The second leaf of the book,
whether it was a fly leaf or not it is impossible to tell, has been cut
out, as also have the two or three leaves which correspond to the
greater part of the Commonwealth Period, viz., from 1645 to 1654.
The whole of the earlier part, up to the year 1625, is in the hand¬
writing of George Leathley, who held the vicarage from 1575 to 1625,
and to him we are indebted for most of the notes respecting weather,
crops, and gifts to the church, which give interest to these otherwise
dull records of the “rude forefathers” of an obscure village.

amplifies the list of parochial endowments and dues which Leathley
, had made. ,

The living was a poor one, valued at £5, 10*. 9d. in 1531, and
both these vicars, like many of the country clergy, their con-
t temporaries, lived in very humble circumstances. Leathley’s ♦ three j

, daughters were married to farmers in Wendy and Guilden Morden, ^

and he seems to have had little to leave behind him, besides the 5*. ^

, three books which he gave to two of his daughters and a clerical

QUERIES.

East Andijan Einoers’ Gotches. — On 15th October, 1903, the
annual festival of the Norwich Diocesan Association of Eingers was
held at Ipswich, and at the luncheon the Chairman, Eev. C. L.
Kenuaway of Qarboldisham, mentioned that when he became
incumbent of Garbuldisham he found in the belfry a ringers’ “ gotch”
(an earthenware drinking vessel), which bore the inscription : —

“ Come, jolly boys, and drink your fills ;

All ye that love a pipe, a pot, the bells.

Let me not empty long remain.

But if I be, fill me again.

Joseph Hammond made me Seventeen hundred and three.”

There used to be a ringers’ pitcher at Hadleigh. Suffolk, and still
carefully preserved in the vestry of Hinderclay Church, Suffolk, there
is a fine specimen of one of these ringers’ gotches

I should be obliged if readers would record other examples still
preserved in East Anglia. Partridoe.

Edible Frogs in Norfolk and Cahbs, p. 116. — In a recent
article on “ The edible frog in England.” a writer in Chamhert' Journal
says the species was first discovered in England at Foulinire Feu
in 1813. Professor Newton found the same species in Norfolk at
Rockland in 1853, and afterwards at Stow Beden. It was found
subsequentlj' to exist at Didlington, Merton, Hockering, and Foulden
Fen, near Stoke Ferry, to which place it had apparently been
imported from France in 1837 by Mr. George Berney. It would
appear that our climate is unsuited for the edible frog. Can
Mr. Yorke, or some other East Anglian reader, name “the pools in
Suffolk where the frog is still flourishing,” and give particulars?
The conditions of aquatic life has surely not undergone such changes
as to render the existence of the edible frog impossible, whether
regarded as indigenous or acclimatised by man, if the frog really
existed fortnerly in these parts for any length of time. The intro¬
duction and disappearance of this frog are alike mysterious, but
scarcely ought to remain^o^ _ Aristophanes.

Rogation or “ Gang-flower.” — Some years ago I found the
Rogation or “gang flower” in blossom in the meadows between
(.'ombs and Badley Churches. Suffolk. I cannot recollect its botanical
name. The names I have quoted above were given to it because it
was anciently used in the procession (A S. gangan = to go) at the
festival of Rogation. Can an}’ reader supply further information ?

Water-colour Drawing of No^iwich Cathedral by Sir John
Gilbert. — In the Art Gallery attached to the Guildhall of the City of
London is an interesting south-east view from Lifes’ Green, exhibiting
the Cathedral under the conditions that prevailed July 17th, 1846.
Considerable repairs were in progress at the time, and scaffolding is
much in evidence. The “ Green ” is, of course, entirely open. The pear
tree (by the Beauchamp Chapel), familiarly known as “the Choristers’
Pear Tree ” (presumably owing to the fact that the “ Green ” was
regarded as the Choristers’ Playground) is represented as little more
than a sapling. Has the drawing ever been reproduced? A copy, at
any rate, ought to be preserved in our midst. 0 N B

Sancroft, Hearnb or Hf.rne. — Mr. Charles Marshall of German¬
town, Pennsylvania, has found an old paper, which reads: — “When
Sarah (Sarah, wife of William Herne or Hearne), with her husband
called upon her great uncle, the Archbishop of Canterbury, William
Bancroft, to bid him ‘ goodbye ’ before leaving for America, he gave
her a handful of gold pieces, telling her to buy a pair of gloves.”
The family settled in Philadelphia in 1684, and one of the daughters,
Sarah, married in 1738, Christopher Marshall, great-great-grand¬
father of Mr. Charles Marshall. There is a family tradition that a
short time before the Archbishop’s death, which occurred at
Fressingfield on November 24th, 1693, he wrote to the Hearnes to
pay him a visit, but they were deterred by their recollection of the
first crossing. The family certainly was connected with Yai-mouth.
for in 1642 Paul Hearne, son and heir of John, son and heir of
Richard, conveyed a house in Middlegate Street to John Hagon, and
this Yarmouth connection is in accordance with Marshall tradition.
Now, Archbishop Sancroft had six sisters — Deborah, Elizabeth, Alice,
Frances. Mary, and Margaret. Of these, Frances was twice married,
first to Anthony Greenling, and secondly to George Borret ; but our
Register contains no record of the marriages of the other daughters.
Any information on this subject will be welcome. j j

THE ORDERING OF PARISH WORKHOUSES IN THE
EIGHTEENTH & NINETEENTH CENTURIES.

The so-called “care of the poor” in parochial workhouses in the
eighteenth and early part of the nineteenth centuries was a public
scandal. The glaring abuses arising from inefficiency and. gross
neglect on the part of those who governed, were as nothing compared
with the system itself, which allowed individuals to farm the manage¬
ment of the poor for their own profit. An insight into the working of
the system is obtained by consulting the parochial books of account
and other documents of the period. Thus in St. Margaret’s, Ipswich,
in 1756, one, John Jolly, agreed to take upon himself the care and
maintenance of the poor for nine months at the rate of £55 per
quarter, and upon terms of contract made with a predecessor (James
Hill) in 1749, to have the use of garden and £20 for extraordinary ex¬
penses. In 1761 the poor were “ put out to John Jolly ” at the rate of
£240 per annum, which was increased to £255 in the following year.

In 1819 we find the master and mistress of the parish workhouse
conducting the paupers to church, permission being granted to them
to wear their own clothes, if over fifty years of age, on Sundays only.
This indulgence, however, was found to be productive of evil, and
was a cause of great discontent among the younger females in the
workhouse, and resulted in an order for all the indoor poor to wear
the parish clothing at all times.

About the same time the Vestry called upon Mr. Freeman and other
parishioners in St. Margaret’s “ to beg they will refrain from using
the thrashing machines during the time of the labourers being so much
in want of employment.”

The number of inmates at the workhouse appears seldom to have
exceeded fifty.

The scale of allowance to out-door poor in 1819 was as follows : —

Man and wife (including all earnings and allowance) to be helped
with relief, not to exceed in the whole 10/-

Do. and one child . do. . 10/6

Do. and two children . do. . - 12/-

Do. and three „ . do. . 13/6

Do. and four „ . do. . 15/-

Do. and five ,, . do. . 16/6

Do. and six ,, . do. . 18/-

Do. and seven „ . do. . 20/-

In 1821. 6/-, 7/-, 8/-, 9/-, 10/-, 11/-, 12/- respectively, the parish
paying no rents as previously.

£100 was at this time allowed by the Commissioners for sweeping
the whole town, the greater part of which was done by 8t. Margaret’s

In 1820 Mr. James Gooding was appointed to superintend work¬
men in parish employ, while Mr. Ransome * engaged to supply men
in the workhouse yard with plough breasts to grind.

THE EAST ANGLIAN ; OR,

Afterwards the in-door poor were taken by the Governor at 3<. 6d.
per head — clothing, bedding, linen, and funeral charges being pro¬
vided. Twine to the value of £l. 5i. Sd. was allowed, the same being
paid for weekly by instalments of 1<. (for making nets).

In 1821 a petition was forwarded to the House of Commons
complaining of those who had the administration of poor relief in
St. Margaret’s, which was considered a gross and infamous imputation
upon the Select Vestry of the parish. This was signed by twenty-
four, wlio complained “that they are levelled with the victims of
infirmity, indolence, and vice ; that they are tossed between contend¬
ing parishes, unable to pay for justice or buy protection ; and left to
be supported by Charity, reluctantly administered by rules of law
unmitigated in its insulting distribution by any feeling of benevolence
or aympathy with their affliction,’’ Most of those signing were, it ia
stated, under the impression that the petition was for the establish¬
ment of some fishery or public work at Ipswich by the authority of
the Legislature, which would have the effect of rendering them
independent of parochial relief, and entirely disowned any intention
to complain of harsh treatment at the hands of the Select Vestry.

We find the Governor of the workhouse subsequently paid so
much per head for the inmates, according to the market price of flour,
varying from 2«. 8^d. to 3«. 5^d. per head = 3<. Sd. It was afterwards
proposed to pay the Governor and Governess £l. 5». per week aa
remuneration, and ten per cent, on the earnings of the poor. These
were not to be included with the poor in the house with respect to
board, &c.

' It was ordered in 1821, that on the part of the Sunday in which
there was no service at St. Margaret’s Church, the in-door poor should
attend some other church in the town, accompanied to and fro by the
Governor or some suitable person. The poet of Governor and Gover¬
ness was necessarily filled by members of the Church of England.

The iniquitous system under which parochial workhouses were
carried on culminated in what are known as “ workhouse riots.” A
curious insight into these disorderly assemblies is furnished by the
following facts : —

Two men were tried 21et March, 1836, at the Bury Assizes,
charged “ with having, with very many other persons, riotously
assembled together and begun to demolish and pull down the work-
house of the Parish of 8t. M argaret’s.” Sentence of death was recorded
against both these men, who went to the county gaol after trial.
Four others, for a like offence in connection with 8t. Clement’s Work-
house, were tried at the same time ; one was sentenced to death, the
others were acquited. The names of the 8t. Margaret’s men were
Michael Terry and Robert Hurren — both nineteen years old. The
acting magistrates were Benjamin Brame and G. H. Bristo. The
sentence of death was not carried into execution, but a punishment of
twelve months imprisonment inflicted instead.

The riot commenced at the St. Clement’s Workhouse (a building
which stood in Fore Street, nearly opposite Angel Lane), caused
mainly by the im popularity of the Governor — Mr. Gooding. The

mob stormed the building from the outside, breaking windows, &c. ;
the inmates within welcomed the assault, and joined in despoiling the
building. A battering ram was brought from the Quay and placed
against the wall facing the street. The military were called out (6th
Iiiuiskillings) and charged the mob — one man was struck across the
chest and was terribly wounded. Then followed the assault on St.
Margaret’s Workhouse. The Governor at the time was named Dale.

It was customary to advertize for a workhouse Master and Mis*
tress in similar terms to the following : —

“Wanted . a proper man and his wife to Farm the Poor in

the Workhouse in the Parish of . by the head per week, &c.,

&c ” — Ftda the newspaper of the period.

A hundred years ago the system was in the zenith of its working.
It is satisfactory to be able to regard all these matters from an
antiquarian standpoint ; right glad are we to acknowledge them as
“things of the past,” but they are by no means either uniustructive
or uninteresting.

NOTES ON THE EARLY REGISTER BOOKS OF
ST. MARGARET’S, IPSWICH.

V

No. I. Baptisms.

The first Register dates from the year 1537, earlier by one
year than most Parish -Registers, the mandate with regard to them
not having been issued until 1538. It is a large folio volume, written
on paper and bound in vellum boards, containing in all eighty leaves,
numbered in Roman numerals by a late hand, and consists of
Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, the three classes of entries being
kept distinct. Each is prefaced by a neatly-written title page, the
work of a former incumbent, the Rev. George Murray, who at the
cost of immense labour most carefully repaired what must have been
a very dilapidated volume. It is with this exception in an excellent
state of preservation, and one marvels at the skill and ingenuity
displayed by Mr. Murray in his painstaking task. The handwriting
throughout is very varied, sometimes very bad, rarely very good, and
sometimes the entries are very faded. The title page is as follows : —

ESSEX MEMORANDUMS, ANECDOTES, &o., A.D. 1759 & 1760,
BY THE REV. WILLIAM COOPER.*

The Rev. William Cooper, of Trinity College, Cambridge, the
compiler of these notes, was the only brother of Sir Grey Cooper,
Baronet (extinct), of Gogar, N.B., who was M.P. for Rochester in
1765, and a Secretary of the Treasury under Lord North’s adminis¬
tration. Thazted, in Essex, appears to have been his first incumbency,
but bis book-plate gives these further particulars of him : —

“ William Cooper, D.D., F.R.S.,

Archdeacon of York,

Prebend of Norwell Overhall,
in the Church of Southwell,

Co: Nottingham,

Rector of Eirkby upon Wiske,
and

Vicar of Manfield, Yorksh:

* Archdeacon Cooper was an accomplished scholar, and wrote
excellent English verse. There is a fine portrait of him, in his
archdeacon’s robes, by Dance, now at Evington, Kent, the seat of
Sir John Honywood, Bart.

June 12. 1759. 1 arrived at Tliaxted in Essex, where having first
in y* most solemn manner implored that God would favour and assist
me in y* great charge which I had undertaken, I paid a visit to my
Church, to which I was conducted by M' Bowtell y* Parish Clerk, a
very Rev** Greyheaded old Man ; after having taken a sufficient survey
of y* Church (which for y* elegancy of its structure far exceeds any
in that part of y* county), I enter'd into a long confabulation with
my new acquaintance y* Clerk, who gave me very satisfactory answers
relative to y* questions which I put to him. He drew y* characters
of M' Heckford. y* squire of y* place, and many of y® neighbouring
gentlemen extremely well, and accurately described them, such as I
afterwards found them to be. Some days elapsed before I had an
opportunity of being acquainted with anyone; at last I received a
very Polite Card from L* Maynard inviting me to dine with him at
Easton Lodge : accordingly I waited upon his Lordship : he received
me with great civility, and at parting desired that I might meet him
on y* Tuesday following at Dunmow Bowling-Green.

On y* Tuesday following I went to Dunmow, where his Ix)rd8hip
took particular notice of me, and very obligingly introduced me to

others ; from that day I soon got an almost universal acquaintance,
and was in y* space of a few months better known in y* County than
many gentlemen who had lived there several years.

As y* several offices and duties of my Parish demanded my
strictest care and attention, y* greatest part of my time was taken
up in a constant and punctual performance of them ; every morning
I visited y' sick and y® poor, and, to y* utmost of my AbUities and
Power, aided and assisted them both ; every afternoon (without some
particular business prevented me) I rode out to Easton, Dunmow,
Ashdon, or some of y* Neighbouring seats, where I agreably spent
my time with those whose Integrity and good Sense might be of
Service to me in my further progress through y* World.

Here let me remark that I never, either before or after, have
been so perfectly happy as I was during my residence at Thaxted,
being conscious to myself that I was doing all y® good that men in
my profession ought to do ; that I was not (as God knows too often
is y® case) avariciously hoarding up y* income or profits of my Cure,
but at intervals disposing of it to those whose needs and distresses, as
they came under my own eye, more particularly required my help and
assistance.

As L** Maynard was one of my first acquaintances in y® county
of Essex, I shall in y* first place draw a short sketch of his Lordship’s
character, and then describe y* situation of his Lordship’s house at
Easton, his private Chappie, and his Parish Church, at which y*
Rev^ M® Forester officiates as Vicar.

His Lordship is far advanced in Life, being now in his year,
yet you do not perceive in him any of those infirmities and incon¬
veniences which generally attend men of his age : Exercise and
Temperance (for no man can live more temperately than his Lordship)
keep him in constant health and spirits. In his duty towards God no
man is more punctual : Divine service is performed in hie own Chapel
morning and evening, at which he causes all his Domesticks, upon
pain of his displeasure, regularly to attend.

Fortune has not bless’d his Lordship with a very considerable
Income without acquainting him how, and in what manner, he most
properly may use it. He has entirely at bis own expense, repair’d
and beautifyed y* several Churches of Thaxted, Little-Easton and
Much-Easton; y® Poor of which Parishes frequently feel y* good
effects of his kindness and benevolence. Hence he is \miversally
beloved, admired and esteemed.

Easton Lodge is situated in a very large and extensive Park
containing upwards of three hundred head of Deer : from y® dining¬
room Windows you have a most noble and delightful prospect : y*
romantic Tilty * (for so it properly may be call’d) adds not a little to
y* grandure of y* scene. Altho’ Easton Lodge is very judiciously
laid out, yet y* chapel, which contains some paintings wonderfully
well executed upon glass, and y* Library, which contains a very fine
collection of books, are best deserving the notice of y* curious.

little Easton Church, Maynard’s Parish Church, is extremely
neat in erery respect ; there is a small gallery at your entrance into
y< Church, which contains about 40 Pews well made and painted:
y* Altar peice is decorated with 4 Colums, in which you read y*
L** Prayer, y* 10 Commandments, and y* Beleif. Y* Monument
which his Lordship has erected in this Church to y* memory of his
Kelations, and which cost upwards of £1,000, is highly finished, and
well worth seeing. The Monumental inscription is as follows : —

Having made mention of L** Maynard’s house at Easton, his
Chapel, Parish Church, &c., I must not here forget my Particular
friends, y* Rev** M' Pinsent, and y* Rev"* M' Forester, his Lordships
Chaplains. M' Pinsent lives in y* house, and is a constant Com¬
panion to L*^ Maynard ; he talks little, but eats much ; the fat
of his Lordships venison has fed him to a very considerable size.
M' Forester is a very good natur’d well-bred man, not overstock’d
with polite literature, yet serves properly enough for y* office of a
Country Rector: his house is situated in L^ Maynards Park, from
whence you have y* same views as from Easton Lodge. He has in

his garden a very pleasant Arbour in which he sometimes reads a
peice of Divinity, a sometimes a News-paper; also a fish-pond well
Bupply’d with Tench, which however he is not remarkably expert in
catching.

His House contains six Bedchambers, a Parlour, Drawing-Boom,
Hall, Kitchin, and other conveniences.

Here, as I have mention’d some, g^ratitude will not permit me to
pass over others of my Essex friends with whom I have spent many a
chearful and agreable Hour. Particularly S' W" & Lady Maynard,
8' George & Lady Beaumont, y* Rev* M' Mangey, M' Wyatt,

M' Crane, y* Hon*** M' Hervey, M' & M'* Sparrow, M'* Burrows of
Great Samford, &c., &c., &c., &c.

S' W" Maynards seat at Ashdon is most beautifully situated ; it
is 9 miles distant from Thaxted, and fourteen from Cambridge : from
S' W*“ you plainly see L* Godolphins house upon Hogmagog Hills.
Y* Walks, y* Partirres, y* Avenues, are laid out with great taste and
judgement ; y* whole house is very elegantly furnished ; in it there
IS one room which cannot fail of attracting y* Eyes of y* beholders,
as y* furniture of it is remarkably splendid, and y* Paper, y* finest
India paper, I ever saw. In this room you see a very good picture
of L* Maynard, done by Wills, who some years afterwards, being
touch’d in his pericranium, quarrell’d with his Art, and commenced
a Parson.

Here, by way of anecdote, let me observe that if any Person at
any time should take it into their heads to say “You play very well
upon y* Guittar, Billy,” such a person, making such and so very

I'udicious an observation, must immediately be informed “that it is
ly no manner of means to be wonder’d at, as y* Player bad y* honor
of receiving his first Instructions necessary to his Improvement on
that sweet, delicate Instrument, from y* pretty mouth, and fair hand
of Lady Maynard, one of y* Handsomest Women he ever beheld.’’

M" Burrow’s house stands opposite to y* great Church in Ham-
ford : it is well built and furnished ; in y® Parlour there are some
good peices of Painting, easpeacially one of a Sea-peice, by Yanderveld,
and another of an Arabian Horse by a very eminent Master. From
y* walks in M'* Burrow’s gardens you have a view of “ Squire Stanton’s
House” : Squire Stanton and M' Mangey are y* two only Musical Folks
I met with ; Musick is very much neglected in y* County of Essex :
Guittars indeed may flourish, but y* more noble Instruments are
almost entirely forsaken. Y* Church at Samford does not look like
“a house of Prayer,” nor its vicar like “a man of God”: y* In¬
habitants forget to repair y* Church, and y* Vicar forgets to instruct
his Parishioners. Y* Vicar’s name is Watson: his ill-conduct and
dissolute behaviour is universally known, and therefore he, with great
justice, is universally Detested. His own Clerks account of him to
me was Characteristic : Sir (says y* Clerk) our Vicar makes nothing of

missing ten, twelve, sometimes twenty verses at a time when he reads
y* Lessons. In y* Chancel of this Church lie interr’d all y* family of
y* Burroughs ; and in y® Church-Yard lies interrd y* body of a very
remarkable Personage — a Colonel Watson : he was originally of a
mean extraction, but going into y* Army when very young, he there
distinguished himself so much by his uncommon bravery, that from
a common Soldier, he arose to y* dignity of a Colonel. He died in
his passage from Carthagena, but in his last moments requested that
his remains might be brought over to England, and deposited near to
those of his Poor Parents.

Journey from Thaxted to Colchester.

I set out from Thaxted on y* Sunday Even, after Prayers, and
lay that night at S' George Beaumonts ; next morning about 9
M' Forester, M' Mangey and I began our Journey.

Cambden, in his Britannia, says that from Dunmow (which
formerly had y® appellation of Coessaromagus) to Colchester there
are many Roman remains, which highly merit the Attention of every
learned Traveller. Whether our understandings were unequal to y*
Task, or whether someone more judicious than ourselves had removed
them thence since Cambden’s days, I will not pretend to determine :
certain however it is, that there were none of them visible to us
during our whole peregrination. As we travell’d with great
composure, making every observation that there was a possibility
of making, we were two hours and twenty-two minutes in going from
Dunmow to Braintree, altho' it is but eight miles.

Here M' Mangey advised us to put up at y* Fleece, but we
imprudently slighted his advice by which means we got a bad dish
of Coffee at y' White Hart. At Braintree y' Church is tolerably
large: Y* Vicar’s name is Morgan; y' Curate’s, Caley: M' Caley,
says y® Sexton, is a charming Preacher, Sir; his voice is so loud,
Sir, you may hear him a quarter of a mile out of y* Church. What
mistaken notions y® vulgar entertain concerning y® powers of true
Eloquence ; what mistaken notions y® generallity of Mankind enter¬
tain concerning them : even of those whose understandings are
improved and strengthen’d by y* means of a better and more polite
Education. They may have riches, they may have honors. Fortune
may abundantly have poured her treasures upon them ; yet are y® odds
very considerahle whether in this point, or no, she will prove equally
indulgent. Quern vit media true turbd, pitch upon anyone : cause him
to rehearse a speech out of Hamlet, or to read a paragraph in y*
News Paper, ’tis five hundred to one whether he rehearses y® first, or
reads y* last with any kind of Propriety.

In this part of y® country there are three very large Woolen

XUM

W0TR8 AND QUERIES, ETC.

167

Msnafactories, one at Braintree, another at Coggeahall, and a third at
Colchester : y* two first deal with y* Portuguese, y* last with Spain.

From Braintree we crept on to Coggeshall, where we dined ;
Coggeahall is a large Town, and y* Market place belonging to it very
much resembles that at Tuxford. Before dinner we amused ourselres
with reading y® Inscriptions upon y® Tomb-Stones in y* Church-
Yard (none of which appeared to be remarkably curious), and in
examining y* Church, which is large, and contains a monument
tolerably well executed, which was erected to y* memory of Colonel
Robert Totonehend.

Y* Person who travells thro’ this part of y* country will be
amazed to see y* large quantities of Onions which grow in almost all
y* Fields near Coggeshall; he likewise will be amazed to see y*
Vineyards within y* Town (for so they may not improperly be
term'd) every house almost being clothed from top to bottom with
Vines.

If I was to give my advice to Travellers, no one should pass thro’
this place without paying a visit — not to y* Vicar, altho’ he may,
upon occasion for ought I know, be able to produce a very good bottle
of Port — but to y* Clerk, who is indeed a very sensible, ingenious
Fellow : by trade he is a Clockmaker, and at his business universally
accounted remarkably expert ; unhappily for him however he thinks
himself very expert also in making Musical Instruments, in y*
composition of which he has indeed shew’d very little skill or know¬
ledge. How few people in any situation or condition of life exactly
know. Quid valeant Humeri, quid ferre reeueent !

Our Dinners being wash’d down with a bottle of y® best, we
mounted our horses, and leaving Coggeshall proceeded on our way to
Colchester. In our way thither we pass’d thro’ Stanway and Lexden :
Lexden is a very pretty Country Town : near this place, in y* year
— 44, there was a great Camp. I cannot say that y* road from
Coggeshall is by any means pleasant till you come upon y* turnpike
road, which is about five miles from Colchester; here you have a fine
open Country, and see many fine Villas, belonging to y* Inhabitants
of Colchester.

Markstay, a seat belonging to Lady Beaumont’s sister, is very
pleasantly situated. In my return home I staid here for a few days,
and was agreably entertained. About seven in y* evening we finished
our journey ; we then proceeded to y* Kings-head, where we were
rejected, every room being secured on account of y* Oratorio, which
was to be performed y* day following : what could be done ? Our next
Attempt was to secure a habitation at y® White Hart. Here we
succeeded, tho’ not exactly to our Wishes. Y* Inkeeper receiv’d us
indeed in a very polite manner : he told us we might have beds &c,
however being cross-examin’d he inform’d us (our Horses being
conducted into y® Stable) that we possibly could have no more than
two: this amazed us a little, however contentment being a virtue
which we frequently recommended to others, it would seem strange
did we not practice it ourselves, accordingly having bespoke a couple
of Fowls for Supper, we with smiling faces enter’d y® Coffee-Eoom,

TO THE SUBSCRIBERS AND CONTRIBUTORS OF THE
“EAST ANGLIAN.”

It is incumbent upon me, both as Promoter and Editor of the
Eatt Anglian, to preface the following very considerate and seasonable
words of our good friend Dr. Jessopp, conveyed to me in the
spontaneous and kindly manner so characteristic of him, by a few
remarks of my own. I had intended with the December part of
1903 to append a few words bearing on the general subject of the
Ea»t Anglian, which I had omitted to do at the close of the previous
volume ix. (December, 1902), in the form of the customary
“ Editorial,” this was owing to the difficulty experienced in the
punctual issue of the monthly parts. Month by month the pub¬
lication has continued to appear late, so that I find myself in April,
1904, revising the proofs of the previous October number. This,
of course, is unfortunate, but it is unavoidable when suitable matter,
for the supply of which the subscribers must themselves be held
responsible, is not forthcoming.

It was in 1884, while Hon. Secretary of the Suffolk Institute of
Archaeology, that the idea of resuscitation of the former Eatt Anglian
(edited by Tymms), was broached, and of the many who urged and
highly approved the project (foremost among whom were my old
friends the late Revs. C. R. Manning and W. H. Sewell), I was alone
in taking the necessary steps for its revival, incurring both the
pecuniary and literary responsibility. Very many of these my
esteemed colleagues of former days have passed away, leaving so
many gaps which have never altogether been filled. From the first
inception of the Eatt Anglian it has been left to the subscribers to
promote its interests, in making the publication known and in con¬
tributing to its pages. As a consequence it can scarcely be said that
the Eatt Anglian has ever ceased to possess a constituency of interested
and sympathetic helpers, but this has been by no means commensurate
with the requirements, neither can the interest be said to have been

Panegyric on old Homer.

NOTES AND QUERIES, ETC.

Ifi9

at all adequately sustained. It can therefore easily be imagined that
something more in the way of continuous effort is needed if the
EaU Altaian is even for a little longer to be maintained. Dr. Jessopp,
it may be said, has voiced the feeling of a large number who have
expressed their warm appreciation of the Ka»t Anglian, and, where
possible discontinuance has been so much as hinted at, their unfeigned
regret.

Since the first publication of the Ea»t Anglian several local
publications, having somewhat similar aims, have been started in
East Anglia, notably the Estex Review and the late Hon. Mary
Henniker’s Eattern Countiee' Magatine (which came to a ‘close upon her
lamented death), not to mention the columns set apart in newspapers
of the “ Notes and Queries " type, which, however, appeal more to
the popular than to the professed antiquarian side. We believe one
or more of these newspaper efforts are reprinted in serial form, but it
must be obvious that the labour and cost of production, to say nothing
of the literary value and importance of a publication like the ^»t
Anglian, cannot for a moment be brought into comparison. It has
been the object of the Ea»t Anglian, while avoiding trivial, common*
place, and stale topics, to give permanence to matter, hitherto
unprinted, likely to be of enduring interest and service ; it is
satisfactory to feel that this has been fully recognized. It has been
pointed out that there is room for each class of publication ; this may
be so, but it must be evident that a journal like the Eaet Anglian, if it
is to hold its own, requires an increase of literary and financial
support. I trust this measure of help will be promptly given. I am
neither so young nor as vigorous as when twenty years ago I projected
the Ea»t Anglian, but I am not indisposed to carry on the work for a
little longer if some such assurance is forthcoming. Although not
without its toil and occasional anxiety the conduct of the Eaet Anglian
has brought with it much that has tended to render it pleasurable,
not the least agreeable feature being the many friendships which have
been formed, personal and other. It would be with no small regret
that I should relinquish so pleasant a connection before the time when
I might feel no lunger able to continue it.

It only remains for me to say a few words in regard to the
Indices to Vols. vii., viii., ix., x. (now current). I regret to say that
the Nommum and Locorum portions are still in couree of preparation only,
by friends who have been good enough to be answerable to the extent
of compiling them, and I fear it may be some time still before they
are complete. I have the Rerum portions practically ready for the
printer, and these could be issued, with title pages, &c., at the end of
the present year, if thought desirable ; they might prove serviceable
to those subscribers, who, while not requiring the Xominum and Locorum
pages, wish to have their parts bound in volume form. Butin any case
the cost of printing must he fully met. The financial aspect is one that
cannot be overlooked. To quote from a former prospectus: “ While
“ no pecuniary advantage is anticipated it is absolutely necessary that
“ no loss should be incurred.” It has not a little harassed me that
several have from time to time received a subscription copy of the

160

THE EAST ANGLIAN; OR,

Eatt Anglian, post paid, for two or more years without payment,
sometimes ignoring repeated applications or contenting themselves
with an unfulfilled promise or excuse, until the extra cost of postage
has only resulted in an increase of the debt. My Publisher in this
matter (as in all else) has done his utmost by the assistance he has
given me, but it has become absolutely necessary to enforce the rule
and to require that the yearly subscription be paid in advance follow¬
ing the receipt of the December part. ^ Evelyn White.

Tht Rectory, Rampton, Cambridge.

April 4M, 1904.

I have just received the 225th number of the Eatt Anglian (Notes
and Queries), which Mr. Evelyn White has been editing, at a cost of
great labour and care, for more than twenty years.

East Anglian antiquaries, and many others too, owe a very great
debt of gratitude to Mr. Evelyn White for his most generous and
chivalrous labour of love, undertaken with no hope of any remunera¬
tion, and carried through with no such substantial or, adequately,
even unsubstantial recognition, as he would undoubtedly have received
if he had belonged to any other than the clerical profession.

It seems to me that we, whom Mr. Evelyn White has laid under
such great obligations, should not allow our friend and (I must need
call him so) benefactor to slip out of life without receiving at least an
expression of our cordial thanks, and something more, for his most
valuable services, rendeied entirely gratuitously for half a lifetime.

What form such an expression of our sympathy should take by
and by, if, when some more representative person than I am should
take up this matter, I will not presume, at this present stage, to
suggest. I hope it will be taken up in a generous spirit in the near
future.

But in the meantime I have one proposal to make to the sub¬
scribers to Mr. Evelyn White’s Eatt Anglian, whereby they themselves
will be gainers.

If I understand a notice in the part just issued, the Indices to
vols. vii., viii., and ix. are actually completed, and waiting only for a
sufficient number of subscribers to pay for the printing of those
certainly necessary, but almost essential, adjuncts to the real comple¬
tion of the volumes in book form.

I can hardly believe that any difficulty will be felt in getting
together a sufficient number of subscribers to guarantee the cost of
printing these Indices and something more.

As somebody must take the first step, I am prepared to contribute
a subscription of £l towards the object in view, in the hope that when
once started the subscription may develop into something more worth
acceptance by Mr. Evelyn White than of merely enabling him to do
another piece of hard work for us, which shall cost him no money

REPLIES.

Bogation or “ Gako-Flowbr ” (p. 143). — In Gerardo’s Herhall
(1597) the following mention is made of it: — “Milkewoort is called
Ambarvalis flos : so called because it doth specially flourish in the
Crosse or Gang weeke or Rogation weeke ; of which flowers the
maidens, which use in the countries to walke the procession, do make
themselves garlands and nosegaies : in English we may cal it Crosse
flower, Gang flower, Rogation flower, and milke woort, of their
vertues in procuring milke in the brests of nurses.”

Miss Anpe Pratt gives a full account of it in her Flowering Plants,

of Great Britain. j ^ Millard.

Shimpling Rectory, Scale.

The Gang-Flower otherwise Cross-Flower. — This is the milk¬
wort {Polygala Vulgaris). It blooms about Rogation-tide and was
largely used in making up the garlands. Its name “Cross-flower”
refers to the festival of the Invention of the Cross (May 3rd), which
falls in Rogation Week.

The “Poalb” Bearer, &c. (p. 64). — In the Hundred Rolls, the
Pole-bearer — a manorial officer — is evidently referred to, e.g., “ Item
dicunt quod Heuricus de Hapeland jam XV. annis elapsis subtrazit
quandam consuetudinem scilicet portandi virgam (carrying the rod) et
firmam domiui Regis colligendi et summoniciones et attachian enta
faciendi que consuetudo spectat ad tenementum quod tenet in
Luthingland.”

{Jtotuli Hundredorum, Luthyngelond in SuSolchia).

Another instance from the same is as follows: — “Symon de
Dunston .... presentatus fuit ad portandum virgam (to carry the rod) et
summonicionem faciendam pro tenemento,” etc., etc.

Similarly the “Cock-bearer” is presumably a servant attached
to the Manor. ^

QUERY.

Gilds and Ecclesiastical Censure. — The medieeval gilds at
Bottisham and Swaflham, Cambs, had, as one of their objects, “the
relief of the poor whilst resting under ecclesiastical censure.” What
was the character of (1) the particular “relief”; (2) the “ecclesias¬
tical censure ” ? Is such a course known to have been prescribed
elsewhere ?

throughout of uncommon pains having been bestowed upon them, involving research
of no slight character, and the Indexes are full and precise. We must not omit to
mention the numerous fine portraits and other illustrations, which are exceptionally
good and interesting repr(^uctions ; there are also several woodcuts of heraldic
shields. We refrain from touching many points of interest which appeal to us,
simply from want of opportunity and space. We should be sorry however to pass
by the aRusion to tbe character of the greatly maligned Bishop Nix of Norwich. At
Bury he was all that was good and very charitable, elsewhere the same much abused
prelate was cruel, vindictive, and amassed great wealth, blaster Jerfiiyn (a.d. 1535)
had a good opinion of him. As Mr. lierrey says. “ a man’s character may be drawn
according to whether the drawer of it is in sympathy with him or in oppoeition
to him.”

attempt to read character by means of hand wi lling is a little foreign to the subject
with which such a work as this is supposed to uc^I. Miss 'I'hoyts should have
resisted the temptation. The writing of the proff..<NioT«al scribe of days long past
can hardly be said to bear traces of character. The personAljty of such writer must
necessarily be somewhat obscured, if not altogether indiscerniHe, by reason of the
hard and fast nature of the exercise, the stiff form of the letters, There is also
additional information relating to parochial life, in connection with th;} chapters on
parish registers, parish officers and their books, &c., which also is a little oi>t.'itle the
domain of paleog^phy and might lie well spared. Occasional oxpiunations of a
verv trivial character, erroneous or of doubtful imjiort, are given, r.g., ” rails (speii
usually ‘rayles’),” ‘‘ the origin of Church Collections is oWiire,” 4c., 4c. That
this book has reached a second edition indicates both the need of such a work
and an appreciation of what Miss Thoyts has attempted.

Hikrukoia Anolicana : Documents and Extracts Illustrative of the
Ceremonial of the Anglican Church after the Reformation: New Edition,
revised and considerably enlarged by Vernon Staley, I’rovost of Inverness Cathedral.
Ijondon : Alexander Moring, the De la More Press, 2 vols., 1903. Originally
issued in parts at irregpilar periods (1843-1848), under the auspices of the old

NOTKS AND QUERIKS, ETC. 163

Cambridga Camden Society and in Boroewhat disjointed form, this esteemed
publication which had become somewhat scarce has b^n re>prodaced in an enlarged
and revised edition forming two choice volumes of the Library of Liturgiolog^ and
Ecclesiology. We cannot speak too highly of the way in which the work has been
carried out, alike creditable to Editor and Publisher. There is abundance of fresh
material, such extracts being distinguished by an asterisk, while the many additional
fine illustrations are a distinct gain. The original design of the work in furnishing
a clear insight into post-reformation usages is steadily followed with the best
results, so that for fulness and effectiveness of illustration it is rendered singularly
complete. Uf course, numerous other instances could have been given, but those
selected are most representative. In a third volume which we understand may be
looked for soon, additional matter of importance relating to Funeral Customs, See.,
that may be gleaned from our own pages and similar publications will doubtless
find a place. Several East Anglian allusions occur in these volumes and we must
not omit to mention an excellent view of the “Glorious” font cover at Ufford.
The recurrence of entries in the Ely Cathedral accounts twice yearly for a period of
forty years (1708-1747), of a quarter uf a puuu i of frankincense (mentioned in the
recent Cau for Ineemt) is noteworthy. But whether associated or not with
ceremonial use, we are a little curious to know why the practice began in 1708
and came to be discontinued in 1747. This was a dead period in Cathedral
Churches as elsewhere. Prebendary Green’s complaint of head-ache is alleged
for its discontinuance ! Although we have the Briefe Compariion of the Liturgie
with the Meu%e-Book (A.D. 1641), yet we had overlooked the word reelinatoriee'’
which that tract further tells us were “ for confessions within the Chancel,” until
we found it quoted in the Hierurgia. We only know the word reclinatorium used
in the sense of a staff or standing desk upon which the ordinary worshipper could
lean — clearly shriving stools are meant. It would be a useful adjunct to the
Eierurgxa if notes upon such words could be added. We should also like to see an
index of the different authorities who are quoted, and a somewhat fuller general
index would be decidedly advantageous. The work is singularly free from errors
of every kind. We have long known and valued the original Edition, but this new
issue is certainly calculated to supplant the old.

A List of HIonvurmtal Brassrs remaining in the County of Suffolk, by
the Rev. Edmund Farrer, F.S.A. Norwich : Agas H. Goose, Rampant Horse
Street, 1903. Some years ago, Mr. Farrer compiled a similar list of Norfolk
brasses, and many will be glad to possess the present catalogue of those in
Suffolk. The arrangement is excellent, and by a judicious disposition of type and
fulness of description the several accounts are rendered bMutifully clear and
inviting. It is no dry catalogue but an interesting collection of notes, in which
genealogy finds a prominent place, together with numerous references that are most
useful. Appendixes give lists of brasses missing, of which rubbings are extant,
brasses in private possession, and a chronological list of figure brasses. It scarcely
need be said that the work is finely printed. The illustrations are many and good,
and Mr. Farrer’s ** Introduction ’’ admirable.

Samuel Pepts ; Lover op Musiuub, by Professor Sir Frederick Bridge, Mus.
Doc. Ixindon : Smith, Elder, & Co., 1903. The two apt quotations from the
famous diary, acquainting us with Pepys’ devotion to “ musique ” are all sufficient
to indicate the interest that attaches to these lectures delivered at the Royal
Institution, and now presented in an enlarged and attractive form. In the
preparation of Dr. Bridge's work the Pepysian Library at Magdalene College,
(Cambridge, has been laid under contribution, and from this source the Profes.sor
has drawn Pepys’ song, “ Beauty Retire,” which with other airs are here
skilfully arranged. Some out of the way information relating to old country dances,
musical instruments of a former period, Ac., is valuable matter. It is curious to
find Pepys’ musical acquaintance, an Italian named Morelli, counselling him to cure
5. fever with sympathetical powder, the chief ingredients in which were to be “ the
pi urioirhs of the nailes of both your hands and your foots, and three locks of hair
of the l:o> of your crown. I hope with the grace of God it will cure you.” This
Morelli was clearlv something more than a musician ! A portrait belonging to the
Corporation ot i'rinity House serves as a frontispiece.

Thi Hcndrbd Rolls and Extracts thbrsfkom made bv authority of
2 Edw. i. (Lothingland, Suffolk), with a translation by the late Lord John Uervey.
Ipswich : 8. & W. J. King (pp. 121), 1903. We are glad to have this portion of the
Hundred Rolls, and only regret to find from the useful preface which Lord Francis
Hervey writes that this is all his lamented brother prepared, and even this does not
seem to have received final correction at Lord John Hervey’s hands. Anyone
contemplating a search in the Hundred Rolls will find this exeerpta and translation
very serviceable. Suffolk people will of course welcome the book as a valuable
contribution to county history. The general index might with advantage have been
enlarged ; there are many interesting items that should have been thus specified.

Norfolk Churches : Hundred of South Qreenhoe, by J. Hugh Bryant.
Norwich: Mercury Office. 1903. Some excellent work is being done by Mr.
Hugh Bryant in the issue of compendious accounts of the several Churches of
Norfolk, with an expressly prepared illustration of each Church, which alone
invests the publication with uncommon interest. This is, we believe, the twelfth
“ Booklet ” (we do not like the term ; besides, a well printed and finely illustrated
book like this — 10 in. X 6 in. — suitably bound and containing well nigh 300 pages,
deserves a more appropriate name), and we congratulate both Editor and Publisher
upon a conspicuous success. Any future historian of a Norfolk parish may turn
to these Volumes with feelings of thankfulness.

Gran’ha’s Jane, by Mary E. Mann. I,ondon : Methuen and Co., 1903.
This is a very delightful story, and to those who passed their childhood and
school days in Norwich during the “ fifties” and soon after, the tale is reminiscent
of associations which Mrs. Mann’s story will awaken very pleasantly, if a little
sorrowfully. The Norwich of half-a-century ago is not the Norwich of to-day,
and we acknowledge the fact a little painfully. But while this is of course true of
most densely populated centres, it seems specially to be the case in regard to
Norwich with its peculiarly old time manners and customs of centuries, which it
has been apparently left for the close of the nineteenth century to dissipate. We
value Mrs. Mann's charming picture of the days that are no more, particularly
on this account. The homeliness of the story, free from the extra vagence of
the novelist, is very pleasing, and here and there, especially at the close, its
pathos is very touching. Norwich, its Castle Keep, Tombland Fair, “Snap”
of Guild Day Fame, St. Valentine observance, Indies’ Schools, Theatre, Parties,
&c., to say nothing of its streets and scenes, is made to live again, while the
very characters introduced to our notice seem all to be the very people that
we used to know. The old house on Orford Hill, similar to so many a middle-
class dwelling, that was also a business house, had its principal room on the
second front floor and it was called a “ tea-room,” familiar to many. We fancy
the term so applied was peculiar to Norwich. The Norfolk farm-house or
“ Old Hall ” is as faithfully delineated as the Norwich house, and the life
and Burrounding^s of both are very precisely pourtrayed. We have but one
fault to find, and that is with the title. The title will never recommend the
book, but the book notwithstanding its title will never need any other recommen¬
dation than its intrinsic worth, whether as a literary work or an uncommonly
good local story.

Thomas Shadwbll. London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1903. Shadwell’s play,
“ Bury Fair,” has been reprinted, with three other plays by the same writer, in a
recent volume of the Mermaid Seriei, edited with an Introduction and Notes by
George Saintsbury. The coarseness of these plays would never lead us to
recommend them, but Shadwell was of Norfolk extraction, and of Caius College,
Cambridge, and his “ Bury Fair,” which we are told “ is quite Shadwell’s l^t
thing,” is of interest to East Anglians, exhibiting as it does the manners and
customs of the second half of the seventeenth century, and containing many local
references and phrases. The expression “ Thetford music,’’ described as “ the best
music in England,” draws from the Editor the remark that “ the Thetford fiddlers
had been in great request when Charles II. kept Court at Newmarket.”

NOTES AND QUEBIB8, ETC.

CALENDAE OF FEE-FARM RENTS. No. I. NORFOLK.

In presenting the following transcript of the Calendar or Index
of Lands, Pensions, &o., formerly belonging to the monasteries
dissolved by Henry VlII., and granted subject to Fee-farm Rents
reserved to the Crown, we do so with some diffidence. We trust,
however, it may be of service, and not altogether without interest. We
are conscious that it has shortcomings, and is not free from errors.
If readers of the Eatt Anglian will mark the quotation from the
learned Bacon appearing on the face of the cover, they will be good
enough to note any deficiencies with a view to due rectification in
these pages.

Beside the rolls here indexed, there are other documents at the
Public Record Office containing particulars preparatory to the grants.
There are also two similar series of rolls relating to the lands sold
in fee simple, and separate series relating to the colleges, hospitals,
gilds, fraternities, chantries, free chapels, Ac., and many other sources of
information. Some of the membranes forming these rolls are clearly
written ; some are not. When stained or damaged they are difficult
to decipher, and where fragments are torn off one cannot always
venture to suggest what has disappeared. The spelling of the names
of places is often deplorably inaccurate, rendering the identification
somewhat difficult. Occasionally, the place is found tacked on to
the wrong county. Where convenient, this is set right in our tran¬
scripts by amending the original form. Where we are not certain
the names have been allowed to stand ; consequently, a supplemental
list of corrections, &c., may be necessary, in which can be included
such places at present appearing under the title of other counties.

A grant at a fee-faim rent (“ farm ” or “ ferme ” = “ rent ”), it
may be remarked, is a grant of the freehold in perpetuity at a rent
more or less nominal, vide the paper on Fee-farm Rents [^Eaet
Anglian, vol. viii., pp. 177-180), where there is much interesting
information on the subject. Biden

SAXON PLURAL SUFFIX IN USE IN NORFOLK.

Crossing the district road from Fomcett St. Mary to Tharston and
Tasburgh runs the River Taas. During the rainy autumn and winter
of 1903 so full of water was it that it was difficult for horses to wade
the ford, while the traveller on foot found only a submerged footpath,
putting the inhabitants of the houses close by to much inconvenience
through not being able to cross. This ford is named on the Ordnance
Survey Map “ Horsen Ford.” The plural forms “ oxen ” and
“housen” are common, but the survival of “horsen” is worth noting.
The ford is approached, not only by the ordinary roadways, but also
by various lokes, driftways, and footpaths, from Tacolneston and
Fundeuhall on the turnpike from New Buckenham to Norwich, and

from the Fomcetts and Hapton. One of the lanes leading to this ford
takes the foot passenger to a place marked on some maps as Low
Inn” Common. This is locally called “Lound” Common, and would
more properly seem to be a contraction of ‘‘Low End,” not Low Inn.
It is a marsh at the extreme north-east of Fomcett St. Mary,
adjoining Tharston, partly bounded by a beck called ‘‘The Bun.”
There is no tradition of an ‘‘ inn ” being placed there.

The following entries are copied from the register of Groton,

annotations given below in inverted commas, are by a later hand than
that of the original entries : —

1568. Avice Lapadge the Daughter of Thomas Lapadge was

Stratford bridge.”

1563. Bichard Spenser was buryed the 10th of September, first
in the ni^ht, and afterwardes in a Coffin with a logge onlie in it,
in the Daie.

Can any reader of the Eatt Anglian throw any light on this last-
named extraordinary occurrence ? ^ 3 Hutohieson.

37, Lowtr Brook Strut,

[The last entry seems to point to a secret interment, the
subsequent burial of a “ coffin with a logge onlie in it ” being a
ruse, not altogether unknown at different times. The recent Druce
(Duke of Portland) investigation furnishes a case in point. The then
Sector of 0roton was presumably privy to the arrangement. Anyhow
it would be most interesting to learn the circumstunces of the
strange proceeding. — Ed.]

“Hocke.” — The followlog bequest occurs in the will (P.C.C.,
99 Byrde) of Olivar Murdun (Morden) of Exninge, Suffolk, dated
4 April, 1621 : — “I give to the towne of Exnynge eightene lether
bucketts and one hocke fitt for the pulling downe of a howse when
anie casualty shall happen by fyre : and these to be laid in a place
fittinge.”

What is the meaning and etymology of “ hocke ” ? The “ place
of fittinge” was perhaps the parish church. j, Mann

dislodging a mass of inflamable material. Such hooks and buckets
and other appliances were usually kept in the tower of the parish
church, both in town and coimtry, in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. — Ed.] _

Pillar oohmemokatino a Norfolk Duel. — The Daily Mail of
21 Jan., 1904, quoting from The Car, contained the following para¬
graph, entitled. “ Unique Duel Pillar” : — “Many as are the places in
England which have been the scenes of duels, only one is marked.
This is a part of all that now remains of Cawston Heath, in Norfolk,
on which stands a small pillar to Sir Henry Hobart, Bart., who was
killed on this spot in a duel with swords.”

Can any reader supply a copy of the inscription on the pillar (if
any) ? Where can I find an account of this duel? What other sites
of East Angliau duels are still commemorated in tradition ?

Obubura Hill, Southern Siyeria. CHARLES PartrIDOE.

[The duel was fought with Mr. Oliver le Neve, a left-handed man,
2 let August, 1698. Sir Henry was buried at Blickling, the seat of
the family. — Ed.]

REPLY.

The Cock-bearer, Pole-bearer, etc. (pp. 64, 161). — These were
unquestionably manorial officers, to whom were assigned such func¬
tions — whatever they may have been — indicated by the name. In the
one case, the Falconer ; in the other, the Catch-pole or bailiff, had each
his distinct holding. We find in certain manorial extents instances of
similar holdings, e.g., “the Steward’s meadow,” “the Constable’s
meadow,” &c. _

rOWLMERE NOTES.— THE HEATH

{continued from p. 117).

The heath of Fowlmere parish was “ Triplow Heath,” that being
the next village and head of the Hundred. It was part of that great
stretch of waste and wilderness that stretched from the Chiltems, past
Rojston to Newmarket ; and it survived as a heath, with rights of
commonage for the copyholders and free tenants, down to its enclosure
in 1 845-8 ; but its area had been much encroached upon before that
date. It had evidently in earlier days embraced all the land in the
parish to the south of Markmoor in Fulmer-dene, the modern Water-
drain. Perhaps we may except a few acres adjoining Chrishall
Orange, which once were the belongings of the Abbott of Tilty.
With that exception, from the Duxford boundary on the east to Bran-
ditch on the west, the heath, subject to the lord’s right of warren over
part of it {Hundred Rolls, 1279), had reached from Markmoor to the
Essex boundary, and from the boundary of Duxford and Triplow
parishes to the Bran ditch. But on the Heath Farm a large part of
the land is still known as “no man’s land;” somewhat to the con¬
fusion of those who do not know that that term is a corruption from
Saxon niman or neoman (to take, seize), and means “ grabbed ” land,
held against the rights of the commoners. From the Field Book
(1639) it is evident that this seizure was already well established, and
that it had been made in the interests of the Ixirdship which held the
major part of the wrongful enclosure. We shall not be very wide of
the mark if we put down the total area of heath, originally in
commonage, at about 500 acres.

It was traversed by the Harborough Way, leading to Essex and
the south; by the Icknield Way, from west to east; and on the
south-west side was skirted by the Old Walden Way, which formed
the boundary of Cambs. and Essex almost all the way from Ickleton.
Of this last way I have spoken in my notes on our ways, and have
shown how by ignorance of its existence antiquaries had fallen into
error about the course of Icknield Way. Ignorance of this way,
which existed at the time of enclosure, and is shown in the award
map, and the name “ Triplow ” applied to the whole extent of heath
between Duxford and Melbourn parishes, have combined to deprive
the parish of Fowlmere of an incident famous in English history.
The Parliamentarian army, in June, 16t7, had rendet-voused at
Walden, and their officers for some weeks met in the church there to
discuss their grievances against their masters at Westminster. The
troops were billeted in the neighbourhood, at Littlebury, Ickleton,
and Hinxton. At last it was decided to march on I^ondon, and a
rendet-vous for the scattered regiments was given on Triplow Heath.
The troops, 20,000 strong, formed their camp “in a plain meadow
four miles from Royston.” If those four miles were of statute
measurement the distance is just that from Royston to Branditch,
where the Cambridge and London road is crossed by Icknield Street,
by the modem Newmarket Road, and by the old Walden Way. If
the measurement is by long miles the position would be at the eastern

end of Markmoor on the borders of this and Triplow parishes. The
intersection of roads, and the supply of water from the brook,
distinctly favour the former position. There is in fact nothings
against this conclusion except a tradition that Cromwell stayed in the
old Manor homestead at Triplow; but we have a like tradition as
regards our Chequers Inn at Fowlmere, and of the billeting of some
of his officers in a cottage which still stands near the blacksmith’s
shop. The old tumuli, which once were conspicuous on our eastern
boundary, and which dated from Roman times, are spoken of by old
folk as being of Cromwell’s constitution ; an error which may point to
their use as tribunes for the orators who addressed the army, and,
no doubt, one or other would form an admirable pulpit for the
Rev. Ezekias King, whom the Parliamentary Committee had ^pointed,
on the nomination of Mr. La Motte, lord of the Manor, to Fowlmere
Rectory in the previous year.

King Charles, who was haled by Cornet Joyce and his dragoons
past the site of this camp, must have been familiar with the heath ;
across which he and Steeuie must have often galloped on their
hawking excursions from Royston Palace ; and across which he had
no doubt often travelled with his pedantic father to the excitement of
Newmarket. Across this heath, on Tuesday, April 28th, 1646,
Charles in company of Mr. Ashbumham had slunk in disguise on his
flight from Oxford to the Scots army. It was a favourable country,
for, no doubt, “ the way was desert.” Triplow Heath thus knew
Charles as the gay heir apparent, as fugitive, and as captive.

What other tragedies were played on the Heath in old days we
know not. Possibly, as so many wastes were infested by highwaymen
and footpads, deeds of darkness have been wrought there. Mr.
Conybeare {Hittory of Camht.,) suggests that at times it abounded in
lawlessness. The lordship gallows in Hangman’s Piece, on Fawdon
Hill, would be a conspicuous object on the grey-line, north of the
heath frontage to Markmoor. Out in the desolate heath, on
October 28th, 1689, one William Ingrey, “ who drowned himself
wilfully,” was buried ; and some entries in the registers show that
not infrequently tramps were found dead upon its dreary bosom :
as thus, “Sept' 1624. A strange man was found dead in Fowlemere
field.” But the only recorded crime in its immediate neighbourhood
was the murder on the London Road beside Markmoor. It is thus
entered in the register of burials: “July 12th, 1775. Andrew Nunn
(labourer, aged ab‘ 20 years) supposed to come from or near Bury St.
Edmund’s in the County of Suffolk, who was murdered and most
barbarously mangled by two brothers of Great Wilbraham in this
county (named Stickwoods) on his return home out of Middlesex,
where he had been to work during Hay-harvest, on July 10th, 1775,
in Loudon Lane in this Parish of Foulmire. One of the above
brothers was executed at Cambridge for this murder. The other
turned King’s evidence.” In Mr. Bowes’ Catalogue of Cambridge Book*
(p. 490, No. 2925), is entered the published confession of John
Stickwood, with a note recording that his brother James was
discharged “ with an admonition from the judge.”

THB SA8T AlfOLIAN ; OK,

Forty years later the Heath was famous for its prize fights ; the
situation on the verge of two counties rendering it a convenient tryst
for such orgies. An old resident, bom in Fowlmere seventy-nine
years ago, well remembers the disorderly crowds that followed to these
' exhibitions, and tells me that on one occasion one of the pugilists was
killed by his antagonist.

a Plag^ue one the Crust }’t is hard in the chawinge. I made yet a

reasonable shifte with . one Justice Wendye:* the Report

goeth his Substance is very honeste, he taketh it very grevoslie
because in a teste I reported in the Castell to binde my Tjo: chefe
Justice to the good Behaviour : I sent him worde I had Reason to doe
it because I stoode in Danger of my Lyfe ; he said my Lord woulde tie
me up in a Rope for it : I answered, it stood in my Pleasure, and 1
hoped ere it were long be woulde be of a new mynde. Then starts
up M' Pigottf with a Paire of eyes as though they woulde leape oute
of his Head for fear of his witt : yet methinks they should not be so
timerous for in my conscience he hath no more than he needeth : he
walketh up and downe in his Castle Maleperdus : but Robyn Davinson
whoe came out of the oulde Colledge with me, hath vowed on his
soule’s Health that he will warme him with a Fire Brande ere it be
longe : and then the formall gentleman may walke upon the Downes
with good Fellowes for company, for, as I here, he hath no more
Houldes.”

In another old hand is added the following : —

“ This Stanley, after much searche, att last was taken in
Worcestershire, and brought to Newgate, when, condemned and
adjudged to be hanged, was notwithstanding ^terwards by the means
of the Lo: Chefe Justice pdoned and by him pferred to be one of the

it is what Davy has recorded at fo. 1924 of vol. xxx. of his Suffolk

REPLY.

Ediblb Frogs in Norfolk and Cambs. (pp. 116, 143). — I make
my apologies to “ Aristophanes ” for this tardy, and I fear, unsatis¬
factory reply. Of my own knowledge I cannot point to a place in
East Anglia where Rana eieulenta awaits the epicure. The article
referred to by A. in Ckamheri Journal, and the statement that the
creature “ is found in England,” made in the sober pages of Enclye.
Britan, {art. Frog) led me to jump to conclusions. Nor am I able to
^eak about the influence of our climate upon the creature’s survival.
He was discovered in our moor in 1843. He was caught and eaten
until the moor was drained by Act passed 1845; only two, at most
three, brief years of positive testimony. Can we learn anything from
indirect testimony? Cambridgeshire being a nightingale county, it
would seem as if the jest about “ Cambs.’ nightingales ” would die of
inanition in less than two years; at any rate that it would not be
remembered to-day unless of considerable antiquity. But on the
bleak and treeless heath the nightingale was not. The traveller was
in Cambridgeshire, and all the sound he heard was the croaking of
frogs. The phrase, too, is evidently a parody on that of ” Dutch
nightingale.” Another phrase “ Whaddon organs” is suspicious.
Whaddon men would not be puffed up by the possession of a Church
organ in 1843. The present instrument, a “Father Smith,” was
placed in 1857. Now to have point, the jest must apply either to a
famous and unique possession of long standing, or to the pride of
novelty. I am inclined to think that the phrase indicates the boast of
Whaddon Churchmen in a recently acquired barrel-organ. These
suspicions seem confirmed to certainty when we remember that
Whaddon and Fowlmere are separated by the width of the Rhee
Valley. To spread to one from the other the Rhee and all its
tributaries in the neighbourhood must have been first stocked. From
the upper Rhee is fair waterway right down to Denver. If the
creature was indigenous, or of ancient acclimatisation, why was he not
known throughout the Rhee Valley ? and why does he not survive in
Wicken Fen? The conclusion to which one is led by this indirect
evidence is that the Fowlmere and Whaddon frogs — rana eteultnta —
were in 1843 of comparatively recent introduction. No doubt A.
knows Kingsley’s use of their discovery {Prote IdylU: The Fene, p. 101 ),
He assumes that they were indigenous.

FAMILY OF CLAYTON OF SOUTHOLT, BEDFIELD, ETC.

The greater part of the following pedigree of Clayton has been
gathered from old papers in my father’s possession. ' These papers
state that they are themselves copied from " Rev. Robt. Clayton’s
Book.” He was the Rector of Caister, mentioned below. Some of
the notes in it must have been added by his son, Robert Clayton of
Yarmouth, and his grandson, Benjamin Lane Clayton of Norton.
Probably the original no longer exists. I believe it passed, with
other family papers, to the eldest son of Dr. Plowman Young, who
had settled in Australia ; and that all of these, in fact everything that
he had, were lost by shipwreck.

Can any readers of the Aoxf Anglian help me with further infor¬
mation about this family ? (1)1 want the connecting link with the
Lancashire Claytons — Exton, where the first Robert Clayton is said
to have been bom, I take to be Euxton, in the midst of the Clayton
country; the arms, “argent, a cross engrailed sable between four
torteaux,” are given by Burke to Clayton of Norfolk ; by Davy, to
Clayton of Bedfield, and were borne by the Claytons of Adlington
and other Lancashire branches. (2) 1 should like to know something
of the parentage of the different matches, in the direct line especially.
(8) Where is Hobbeschurch ?

1 have added a few points from Davy’s Suffolk Colleetiont, chiefly
dates, but not from personal inspection.

1 . Robert Clayton was bom at Exton in Lancashire ; came to live
in Suffolk, and was married to Sutan Pulham of Stradbrook, spinster,
October 17th, 1603 ; two sons, Robert and Thomas, were born at

VOTES AVI) QTTSSTSS, BTC.

205

Stradbrook. They afterwards live') in his own estate at Southolt,
where a third son, John, was born.

2. Robert Clayton, eldest son, married And/ry Wattling of Wor-
lingworth ; by her came the estate called “ Bull’s Hall,” lying in
Bedfield and Worlingworth. - They hsd a numerous issue : Davy
gives six sons and five daughters, with the dates of baptism, all at
Bedfield ; the Rector of Caistor gives eight in all, without dates, prob¬
ably omitting those who died in infancy, they were : —

(o) Robert, baptised December 16th, 1632; by business an iron¬
monger in Norwich; Sheriff of that City in 1672, the year of his
death ; he was married, but died s.p. A trade token of his, bearing
date 1663, is illustrated in Norfolk Arehaology, vol. v. Davy misses
a generation by making this Robert Clayton to be Rector of Bedfield
instead of his nephew, thereby making the latter to be forty-seven
years older than his wife.

(A) William, baptized November 16th, 1634.

(r) John, baptized March 8th, 1638 ; died in London, unmarried.

(d) Jamet, baptized September 21st, 1637 ; died young.

(«) James, baptized July 18th, 1647 ; an ironmonger in Norwich,
where he died, 1699, unmarried ; buried at Southolt.

(/) George, baptized 1650; probably died young; buried at
Southolt.

(a) Anne, baptized November 27th, 1631. Perhaps she was the
wife of William Crabb, M.D., of Norwich. See Genealogiet.

(A) Mary, baptized March 9th, 1640; probably died young;
buried at Southolt.

{o') Audry, baptized June 23rd, 1642.

\d) Elitabeth, baptized 1645 ; buried at Southolt.

(s) Lydia, bom 1650.

S. William Clayton, the second son, was by business a hosier.
He married Elizabeth Johnson, by whom he had two children, one who
died young, and

4. Robert Clayton, Re(;tor of Bedfield, owner of the Manor of
Bull’s Hall there. He married Susan, daughter of Rev. Peter
Basford; she was bora March 8th, 16|^, and married August 29th,
1695. Peter Basford was Rector of Earl Soham ; he was married
on December 31et, 1678, at Creating St Mary, to Susan, daughter of
Henry Stebbing, Cent., of Brandeston, and Susan, his wife, daughter
of William Raleigh, Cent,, of Wood Dalling, Norfolk. Mr. Clayton
died November 22ud, 1708 ; his widow afterwards became the wife of
William Lord, Gent , of Bedfield. She died October 18th, 1770, and
was buried by the side of her first husband in the chancel of Bedfield
Church. In Mr. Clayton’s will, dated March 25th, 1704, mention is
made of two sons, Robert and Peter, and a daughter Susan. Peter
was born May 22nd, 1700, and Susan, June 21st, 1702 ; the elder son

5. Robert Clayton, born at Bedfield February 16th, 169^, was
Rector of Caistor-next-Yarmouth for fifty-six years. He died there
in September, 1781, and was buried in the Church Porch. The
following notes are from “ Rev. Robert Clayton’s Book —

Mr. Clayton gives the dates of birth and baptism of five
children, viz : —

(а) Ann«, bora September 25th, baptized October Pith, 1726.
She was married on February 26th, 1756, to Benjamin Lane, grocer,
of Yarmouth, but had no issue.

(б) Robert, born January 11th, baptized January 15th, 1727.

{e) Samuel, bora July 24th, baptized August 12th, 1731. See
Burlu't Landed Gentry for 1846 under the title Clayton of Norfolk.

Olley, woolcomber, of St. Martin’s by the Bishop’s Palace in the City
of Norwich. She died May 30th, 1772, and was buried in Caistor
Church porch.

6. Robert Clayton, the eldest son, is described, both by Burke
and Davy, as having died s.p. The Rector of Caistor, however,
mentions the birth and baptism of four sons; three of them were
baptized by himself, the second by the Rev. Mr. Manclarke, Minister
of Yarmouth. One of these, at any rate, would seem to have
survived his father.

“Bobert Clayton began business at Yarmouth in the year (1754?)
being 27 years of age in the house & shop facing the old Broad Row —
now Mr. TruUer’s, the Grocer ; after living there better than 1 8
years, removed to the Market Bow, where he purchased the house —
now Mr. Hunt’s, Draper — at which house he followed business, as a
respectable and honest man for 23 years as woolen A; linen draper, in
the whole, 36 years; afterwards declined business and bought a
House upon the Wrestler’s Plain, now Nelson’s 8q.) where he

Chambers.

THE EAST ANGLIAK; OB,

This Stone was erected bj her disconsolate
Friends, as a small token of the respect they
owe to so Aimiable [<«'«] a Woman.

In Love she liv’d ; in Friendship died :

Her Life was ask’d, but Ood denied.

We boast no Virtues nor beg we any Tears.

Tet Header, if thou hast but Eyes and Ears.

It is enough. Oh ! tell me why
Thou com’st to gaze ? Is it to pry
Into our loss ? or borrow,

A copy of our sorrow ?

Or, dost thou come
To learn to Die
Knowing not whom
To practise by ?

If this be thy desire.

Then draw thee one step nigher.

Here lies a Precedent, a fairer
Earth ne’er shew’d nor Heav’n a rarer
[bottom of stone buried^.

Near by stands another headstone in memory of Edward
Sanderson, who died 10th July, 1780, aged 22.

Can any reader supply any further information relating to Queen
Charlotte’s Dairy Mistress ? Pabtbidge, ton.

Stowmarktt, Suffolk.

REPLY.

Meadow-book, Pole-beaber, etc. (pp. 64, 127, 161, 180). — At
Alwalton, Hunts., there is an ancient Meadow-hook which contains the
different marks of the proprietors measured by the fourteen-foot pole.

Grass Widows. — In the Register of Stoke-Nayland the following

1622. The 23rd daie (of July) was mar? Amye Wright grasse
widowe and Nathaniell Ratcatcher.

What wa. a graa. widow f jj j Horotraaow.

37, Lower Brook Street, Ipewieh.

[The term “ Grass-widow ” was probably applied, in former days,
solely to one who was a widow by courtesy only — it was an act of
grace (Italian, grata), so to style her. The term is now used for a wife
temporarily parted from her husband. — Ed.]

A KELSALE DEED OF 1549.

I

This deed, the abbreviated Latin of which I have extended,* is !
now in my possession, having been given to me by the late well-known
autograph dealer, Mr. John Waller of Westbourne Grove, W., who,
according to No. 679 of the East Anglian Miscellany, was born
1815-16, and came of a Wickham Market family.

William Grey, Loi-d Grey de Wilton, whose signature appears on
this deed, was the thirteenth peer. He distinguished himself in the
war against France under Henry VIII. In 1549 (the deed bears
date 28th July, 1549) he assisted in quelling the disturbances in

Oxfordshire, Devonshire, and Cornwall. He was one of those who,
in 1553, attempted to place Lady Jane Grey on the throne, but was
pardoned. In 1558 he was made a Knight of the Garter. He
married Mary, daughter of Charles Somerset, first Earl of Worcester,
died in 1562, was buried in Cheshunt Church, Hertfordshire, and was
succeeded by his son, Arthur, who thus became fourteenth peer.*

The lands specified in the deed were part of a forfeited property
of “ Thome nup#r Ducis ^orSolciensi de alta prodicjone attinct* et
conuictt.” Thomas Howard, third Duke of Norfolk, born 1473, was
found guilty of high treason and attainted 20th Jan., 154f. whereby
all his honours became forfeited, and, though by the King’s decease
(28th January) sentence of death was not carried out, he continued a
prisoner during Edward VI. ’s reign, not being released till Queen
Mary entered London on 3rd August, 1553, on which day he was
fully restored.! He died at Kenninghall in 1554, and was buried at
Framlingham.

He was son of the second Duke by his first wife, Elizabeth
Tylney, first cousin of Sir Philip Tylney, the founder of the family of
Tylney of Shelley Hall, Suffolk. The second Duke’s second wife was
Sir Philip’s sister Agnes, whom he married in 1497. Apparently,
Sir Philip lived at Kelsale before going to Shelley, for in Kelsale
Church there was formerly an altar-tomb for “ Dame Margaret
Tilney [first] wife of Sir Phil. Tilnye, Kn*, da' of Sir Tho. Brewes,
Kn*, about 1 500.” J Their grandson, Frederick Tylney of Kelsale,
died there, 26th January, 154^, § and his son Philip, who entertained
his kinswoman. Queen Elizabeth, at Shelley Hall in 1561, was
baptized at Kelsale. The Tylneys lived at Kelsale probably as
tenants of their relations the Howards.

The list of witnesses endorsed on the parchment is of especial
interest.

REPLIES.

Dandy or Dadndy Family (pp. 143 — 144). — There is an ex¬
cellent pedigree of this family occupying two pages of Heraldic
Insignia of Suffolk Families hy Catherine Jerrayn, a series of volumes
in the lil)rary of the Suffolk Institute of Archseology, at Moyse’s Hall
Museum, Bury St. Edmund’s ; see also Metcalfe’s Visitations of Suffolk,
pp. 29, 60, 95, 193; Muskett’s Suffolk Manorial Families, vol. i., pp.
285, 370 ; 'The East Anglian, new ser , vol. i., pp. 8, 131, 253, 283, 346 ;
vol. ii., p. 67.

In 7 Edw. VI. William Daundye of Ipewieh is described as
yeoman {The' East Anglian, new ser., vol. vi., p’. 839). The origin of
the name is discussed at p. 328 of vol. i.

William Dawnedevyle was of Mapilsted Parva in 24 Hen. VI.
{I'he East Anglian, new ser., vol. v., p. 189).

I cannot find evidence of any marriage with the Carleton or the
Foster family. _ q p

The Baptismal Bason (vol. x., p. 79). — In an account of the
recent exhibition of pewter at Clifford’s Inn Hall, it was remarked : —
“It is surprising what a large amount of Church plate still survives
in pewter, and there are in the exhibition the fonts which probably,
at one time, were holy water bowls. English pewter was very largely
utilitarian, and was not especially fine in form” — The Outlook, Feb.,
1904 (p. 115). Charles Partridge.

[In regard to the pre- Reformation baptismal basons, it must be
borne in mind that such examples, used to receive the water which fell
during the administration of the rite, are quite distinct from the
basons of Puritan days, which were utilized as Fonts. — Ed.]

THE EAST ANGLIAN; OR,

The aforesaid Edward Nightingale residuary legatee and executor. !

Witnesses: — William Gray, Mary Dodsworth, Tho. Browne. Proved I

9 Nov. 1691. [The Nightingales were of Kneesworth Hall. Cole, in ,

his notes on Bassingbourn Church, has .the following: — “In ye j

middle Isle, about three feet from y® Threshold of y* Nave and \

Chancel, lies a black marble slab with these arms at top — per Pale j

ermine & gules a Rose countercharged [barbed argent], for Nightin- j

gait, and under them is the inscription : — ‘ Here lie the Bodies of |

Geoffrey Nightingsle Esq. & Elizabeth his wife. He died the 9'*' of
May 1681 in the 64*** year of his age, she the 24th of Novemb 1664.’
Opposite this, against the north wall, is fixed an awkward kind of
mural monument of freestone under y* small window & near y*
screen, with the arms of Nightingale on top as before ; under them '
is this inscription : — ‘ Huic monumento adjacet Geffrejus Nightingale
de Kneesworth, armiger, una cum Elizabetha uxore. Heec 23’’*
Novembris 1664, Hie Maji nono 1681"“ mortem obiit. Props hoa
dormit Gamaliel, Filius suus natu minimus, qui 26 Aprilis 1690 ex
hoc corpis ergastulo eiuigravit.’ In the south chapel, dedicated to
our Lady in y* middle, lies a handsome black marble slab, with the
arms of Nightingale as before, and crest an unicorn sejant; by the
sides of it lie several old stones w®** Mr. Nightingale told me were
removed here, when his father paved the church, from various parts
of it. Under the aforesaid arms is tiiis inscription : — ‘ The body of
Edward Nightingale of Kneesworth Esq. is here committed to the
g^round. He died July 2: 1723.’ At y* bottom of y* North Isle is f
fitted up very handsomely an excellent Library for the use of the
Parish ; replenished with great numbers of very good books ; to
which, as ^Ir. Nightingale told me, y® late Lord Oxford was a
benefactor. But the Founder of it was Mr. Nightingale’s Father, to
whose memory was lately erected a small monument on y* Pillar '
nearest to it, with his arms impaling those of his wife, who was a |
81ingsby. Under them, on the stones, is this inscription : — ‘ This i
Library was founded & erected by Edward Nightingale of Knees¬
worth Esq. an Dom 1717.’ This Church was entirely paved with
Freestone at his proper cost & charge. These, together with the
Clock now in the steeple, and many other Benefactions to this Church
and Parish, were the effects of his liberality to them. He died the ,
second day of July 1723 and lies interred in y® east end of y® south ;
Isle of this church, in that apartment antiently known by y* name of \
our Lady’s Chapel. This inscription was placed here to his memory '
An Doih 1729.” The Nightingales of Kneesworth were a younger
branch of the Nightingales of Newport Pond in Essex, and in 1797
successfully claimed the baronetcy, which in 1628 had been granted
to the elder line, and which had been supposed to be extinct by the
death of Sir Robert Nightingale in 1722.]

ILLITEEACT OF THE ELIZABETHAN OLEEQT.

It is a well-known fact that the majority of the parochial clerg}’
of the early part of Elizabeth’s reign were men of little erudition.
Lever writes to Bullinger, July 10th, 1560: — “Ex illis valde paucis
qui per magnam hanc regionem sacranienta administrant, ne
centesimus quidem verbum Dei preedicare potest el vult ; sed tantum
legere quod in libris prsescribitur omnes coguntur.” — Zurich Letters,
No. 35. The following extract from the “ Certificatorium Dioces
Eliens,” sent by Bishop Coxe of Ely to Archbishop Parker in 1560
(Add. MS. 5873), shows that in the Deanery of Shingay not a single
clergyman was then licensed to preach. And when one reads the
extremely elementary “ Interrogatory es ministeryd to all suche as
myndethe to Eeceyve hollye orders ’’ in the Diocese of Ely at that
time, one cannot wonder that pulpit ministrations should have been so
generally restricted to the reading of the Homilies. They were as
follows : —

Syrst what is his name.

The second what age he is of.

The Thyrd wher his abydinge is.

The fourth whether his conversacyon be good and honest.

The fyfte whether he cane Rede well or no.

The syxte whether he cane wryte.

The sevenths whether he myndethe to Receyve hollye orders of a
good zeal y‘ he barythe towardes God’s word.

The viij whether he myndethe to procede in the saide vocacyon
and hollye order of ministerye.

The ix whether he be legyttymate or no.

The X whether he understandythe the latten tonge and cane
speke the same.

The xj whether he hathe studyed any things in the Scryptures
and what he hathe lernyed therein. — Gibbon's Ely Episcopal
Records, p. 4.

It seems to have been difficult to find candidates who could pass
the test of even this very simple examination, for the number rejected
or respited was always considerable. A century later the clergy of

the Diocese had become all educated men. Out of the ninety-three
clergymen ordained from 1662 — 1664 there was not one without a
University degree.

MONUMENT TO A SUFFOLK LADY IN STRATFORD-
ON-AVON CHURCH.

On a mural monument: — Arms — sable, three swords in pale
barwise argent, hilts and pomels or; iiupaliiig, azure, a chevron
between three rams’ heads erased argent, attired or, is the
following : —

Elizabbtha Rawlins, 61ia & coheres Thom.c Benoisr de Stowe-Makkett,
in Com. Scffolcls Arm. ex Eliza Dvdlby, filia Edw. Dvdley, de Clapton in
Com. Northton Arm. : —

Below it, on a flat stone, with the arms of Rawlins : —

HIC SITA BST ELIZABBTHA RAWLINS.

Stay youth ; whose lighter thoughts contentments seeke.

With fading trifles of a well mixt cheeke ;

236

THB EAST ANGLIAN ; OR,

And let thoee looka, who, whilst alire, would try
To inflame thy bosome, now dissolue thine eye ;

Stay, grauer age, whose serious brests doe prize
The faire and younge, beneath the good and wise,

Lament her early fate, whose actions shew’d
All vertues earth e’er had, or heaven bestow’d ;

Stay lovely maids, and let youer eys dispence
" One teare for beawty, youth, and innocence ;

Stay sober matrons, and let pitty flnde,

A sigh for th’ chaste, the constant, and the kinde ;

But we’ll no more loade her lamented herse.

Which now expects a trumpet, not a verse ;

Whose sound will find her shape so exact before,

’TwiU others change, but only her's restore.

It will be noticed that the date of decease is not given. Can
any reader supply it? Is anything known of Thomas Bendish of
Stowmarket? The name does nut occur in the index of names at
the end of Metcalfe’s Visitationt, of Suffolk. The Norfolk Visitation
of 1664 contains pedigrees of Bendysh of Great Witchinghain and
Bylaugh and Rawlyn of Attleborough and Ingoldesthorp. It would
be interesting to kuow more of this Suffolk lady buried in
Shakespeare’s Church.

I venture to add the following attempt at translating the above
Latin verses into English blank verse : —

Xo panegyrics see’st thou, reader, here.

For here ale panegyrics would fall short ;

Indeed, bombastic words injure true worth.

And piety, and innocence, and all
Good qualities that Nature freely gives —

Gifts excellent of body and of mind —

And charms to which no orator's harangue
Could justice do. Her husband, overwhelm’d
With sorrow, did prefer the curtain drawn,

Than that such worth should sully’d be by pen
Unworthy to record her excellence.

Fairies in East Anglia. — These ancient inhabitants of our
homes and meadows are now all but forgotten. Forby, in his’essay
On the poptdar Superstitions of East Anglia, tells us that “ We might

look” . “for the house- wifely fairy, that rewards the cleanliness

of the dairy maid with a ‘ silver sixpence ’ ” (p. 386) ; and, on the next
page, says “ The very fairies would be forgotten but for the rings in
the meadows that bear their name.” At p. 1 10 of vol. i. he explains
fairy-butter and fairy-rings.*

The story of the little green f people of Woolpit, recorded by one
of the old chroniclers, has been reprinted several times. The best
accounts of Suffolk fairies that have yet appeared are in Hollings¬
worth’s History of Stowmarket (1844), pp. 247, 248. In Glyde’s New
Suffolk Garland (1866), p. 179, it is stated that “A belief in the
existence of ‘ Pharisees,’ or ‘ Fairies,’ prevails; they ride young horses
about in the night, so that the grooms on going into the stables in the
morning find the horses all of a foam. But a hag stone, with a hole
through, tied to the key of the stable door, protects the horses.” J

The etymology of Elveden may perhaps be elves' or fairies’ den
or cave, and there is Pixey Green in the parish of Stradbroke. At
Southwold, “on a hill called Eye Cliff, and several others situated
near it, are vestiges of an ancient encampment, supposed to have been
occupied by the Danes ; and, where the ground has not been broken
up, are tokens of circular tents, vulgarly denominated fairy hills." —
White’s Suffolk Directory, 1844, p. 392.

• Frequently alluded to by the old dramatiHts —Shakespeare, Ben .Tonson, etc.

t In *’ Sir Gawayne and the Green Knight ” the giant was enker (bright) grene

^ Compare Scott’s Marmion, canto iv., stanza 1 : —

“ Young Blount, Ixird Marmion’s second squire,

Found his steed wet with sweat and mire’’ ;
and ibid, canto iv., stanza 3 :

“ ‘ Dost see, thou knave, my horse’s plight.

Fairies have ridden him all the night.

And left him in a foam ! ’ ”

REPLIES.

Fernham Epitaph im Stowmarket Church (pp. 195, 196). — I am
indebted to Canon Raven of Fressingfield for the following suggestions
as to the gaps in this much-worn inscription : —

(Lines 1 — 4).

Thus tyme and death doe earth to earth restore
The Bonne who'e loving mother firet reposeth.

And he that liv’d a grave divine before
Lyes here interr’d, a grave a grave incloseth.

As to line 1 0, Canon Raven suggests that its syllables correspond¬
ing with those of line 9, it is perhaps complete as it appears at p. 195.

C. P.

The Mistress of Queem Charlotte’s Dairy (pp. 211, 212). —
Mr. Fred. Chancellor of Chelmsford has kindly pointed out to me that
the epitaph on Mary Sanderson’s headstone, in Acton churchyard,
was evidently copied from that on a monument in Abbot’s Roothing
Church, Essex, for Mildred, Lady Luckyn, daughter of Sir Gamaliel
Capell, who died 23 August, 1633. The monument is illustrated in
I^Ir. Chancellor’s Eeeex Sepulchral Monumente. It will be seen that the
Acton copy differs slightly from the original, which runs as follows : —
We bragge noe virtves and we begge no teares
0 reader if thov hast bvt eyes and eares
It is enovgh, bvt tell me why_

Thov comst to gaze. Is it to pry
Into ovr cost or borrowe
A copie of ovr sorrowe
Or dost thov come
To learne to dye
Not knowing whome
To practice by
If this be thy desire
Remove thee one step nigher
Here lies a President a rarer
Earth never showd nor heaven a fayrer
She was bvt room denyes to tell thee what
Svm all perfection up and she was that.

In the third line of Mrs. Sanderson’s inscription, “ Queen House”
is a misprint for “ Queen’s House.” Does this house still exist ? If
so, what is it now called ? CP

Sir Charles Witham of Hioham and the Hoy Family. — White’s
Suffolk, 1st ed. (1844), p. 258, states that “Sir Charles Witham of
Higham Cottage was knighted by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in
1830.” He was third son of William Witham, Esq., by Dorothy,
daughter of Thomas Langdale, Esq. (Witham of Lartington Hall, co.
York, in Burke’s Landed Gentry). He married Mies Jane Hoy, by
whom he had a daughter, Constantia.

In Higham churchyard (next Stratford S. Mary) there is a
tomb commemorating the Hoy family : — Robert, eon of Robert and
Marianne Hoy of Higham Lodge, 19 May, 1811, aged 10 years, 3
months, and 19 days; Marianne Helen Maria, 19 Sept. 1818, aged 11
years; William Hoy, 25 Nov., 1830, aged 22 years. In White’s
Suffolk oi 1844, under Stoke-by-Nayland, appear: — Isaac Hoy, Esq.,
Stoke Priory, and William Hoy of Ijower House, farmer ; and also :
“ part of the soil belongs to several smaller proprietors, the largest of
whom is Isaac Hoy, Esq., of Stoke Priory, a handsome mansion. 1
mile W. of the church, erected in 1829, and so called from a monas¬
tery which existed here before the Conquest.” The same Directory
states that the Hoy family owned land at Qt. Waldingfield, and that
Miss Ann Hoy was a landowner at Hadleigh Hamlet.

Lady Witham {nie Hoy) was a Catholic, and was related to the
Lewis family of Stoke, Polstead, and Higham. Can any reader tell
me the exact relationship ?

Lady Mary Gertrude Lescher, eighteenth Abbess of S. Mary’s
Abbey, East Bergholt, who was born in 1835, and died in May, 1904,
was a daughter of William Joseph Lescher of London by Mary Hoy
of Stoke. T X,

Townsend of Essex. — I should be glad to receive any information,
of the period 1750 — 1795, of a yeoman family of this name, then
living in the neighbourhood of Little Waltham.

I have the following notes: — In his will, dated 29 Aug. 1766,
and proved 4 March, 1767, William Townsend of Tolleshunt d’Arcy,
farmer, mentions his wife Hannah, and his children, John, Sarah, and
James Townsend. There are two headstones in West Bergholt
churchyard: (1) Sarah, wife of Will. Townshend, 25 Sept. 1782,
aged 33 ; William, their only son, 2 Sept. 1778, aged 9 ; and William
Townshend, 26 May, 1809, aged 70 (born 1738-39). (2) Ruth, wife
of Will. T., 12 Sept. 1826, aged 65. A headstone in Great Waltham
churchyard is for Myra, widow of Will. Townsend, late of this parish,
20 Ap. 1863, aged 77 (born 1785-86); Will. T., son of above, 7 Jan.
1868, aged 61 ; and Sarah Jane Whimper, his widow, 16 Nov. 1872,
aged 67. This last William Townsend was of Wall Farm, Great
Waltham, and died without issue. (Several generations of his ancestors
are said to have been buried at High Easter. Are there any Townsend
inscriptions in High Easter churchyard ?

Between 24 Dec. 1756, and 12 July, 1775, Mary, widow of Henry
Simons of Fingringhoe, married a Mr. Townsend. Can any reader
give me further particulars ? EM

TITHE-CUSTOMS OF MONK 80HAM, SUFFOLK, IN 1617.

The manuscript from which the following extracts are taken is
in the possession of William Wollaston Qroome, Esq., M.D., late of
Stowiuarket, but now of Suffolk House, Surbiton, son of the late
Venerable Robert Hindes Qroome, Archdeacon of Suffolk, and Rector
of Monk-Soham. These extracts are published with Dr. Groome’s
kind permission.

Some of the tithe-customs are curious, and one of the most
interesting items is that the Parson was to have “two Pence for
every one that receiveth the Communion at Easter, if he have dwelt
in the Town a Year.”

Students of local and obsolete words will be interested in the
first extract, and in several words that occur in the “ Testimony ”
crtncerning tithes — (lamb) lained or fallen ; (fleece of wool) renned or
clipped ; sh'*fe of wheat ; swayth or shoaf of barley ; stetch, swathe
or heap of pease ; glean of hemp ; banes ; rawes ; etc.

The “ Chas. Garneys ” whose signature appears at the end of the
manuscript was probably Charles Garneys of Kenton, gent., under
age at the death of his father (Wentworth John Garneys of Kenton)
in 1728, died without issue in 1778, and was buried in the chancel at
Kenton. — Muskett’s Suffolk Manorial Familiet, vol. i., p. 192.

diverse Meares, with three cross-pieces or wents at the Head (in the
parish of Kenton) . . . the Town Mere or Procession way (parish of

Monumental Inscrirtion to Orlando Whistlecratt, “ The
Weather Prophet.” — In January, 1893, an appeal was made in The
Eatt Anglian to raise a small fund to enable this Suffolk worthy — the
originator and writer, during many years, of Whietleeraft' » Almanac,
and the author of a work on meteorology entitled The Climate of England
(1840) — to pass his declining }’ears in a greater degree of comfort than
his needy circumstances would permit. Mr. Whistlecraft, however,
died on February 27th, 1893, but the money thus collected was given
to his widow.

In Thwaite churchj'ard, Suffolk, just east of the chancel, stands
a small ornamental iron cross bearing the following inscription : —

ORLANDO
WHISTLECRAFT
WEATHER PROPHET & POET
BORN 1810
DIED 1893.

Stovmarket, Suffolk. CHARLES PARTRIDGE, JUN.

* Cornbote = the right of the lord to take the best sheaf cut in the harvest.

* “ For the purpose of selling them or (?) for flooring the house.”

i** Com that has been ground = flour.

SOME LETTERS OF CAPTAIN JOHN LAWRENCE,

A QUAKER WORTHY OF WRAMPLINGHAM, NORFOLK,
16...— 1685.

The earliest known mention of John Lawrence is in Whitehead’s
Chrittian Progrett. George Whitehead had a meeting at Wymond-
ham, at the house of Robert Harvey, a glover, to which meeting he
says " came Captain Lawrence, Ac., who being then tenderly afiected
with Truth, was desirous I should have a Meeting at his House at
Wramplingham, which I was very willing to, and glad of.”

The result of this meeting [1654] appears to have been that
“ The said John Lawrence received the Truth, and me [George
Whitehead] and others of the Lord’s messengers in great Love and
Tenderness, and gave up freely in Obedience thereunto ; When he
knew a Beginning in the Spirit, he turned not back, but did persevere,
and bore a faithful Testimony in suffering for the Truth, both in his
Person and Goods.” This is borne out by Joseph Besse in his CoUeetion
of Suffering!, vol. i., where he says that John Lawrence was six times
imprisoned, and many times had his goods taken by distress.

He was evidently a man of importance in the count}'. George
Whitehead, writing from Norwich Castle in 1660, says of John
I Lawrence and William Barber, they had ‘‘been Men of Note, and
! Captains in the Common Wealth’s Day.” Besse, in his CoUeetion of
Suffering!, vol. i., says he had goods taken to the value of £40, which
shows he was by no means a poor man ; he also had local influence.
George Whitehead says, “His and Family’s turning to Truth, and
Friends, was a means to induce and draw many after them.”

George Fox, in his Journal, says, “Then we passed to a meeting
at Captain Lawrence’s in Norfolk [1655], where it was supposed were
above a thousand people ; and all was quiet. Many persons of note
were present, and a great convincement there was.” In 1660 he was
imprisoned in Norwich Castle with his brother Joseph and George
Whitehead for attending a meeting. They were confined in a small
naiTow hole called the ice ; the winter was cold, and they must have
suffered great hardship. George Whitehead says, “ We burnt a little
Charcole in Evenings, which we found somewhat injurious and suffo¬
cating, having no Chimney to vent the Smoke or Steam thereof.”
Whitehead also says, “I remember one morning, Joseph Lawrence,
after his pleasant manner, said to his brother John, ‘0, Captain
Lawrence, I have seen the day thou would’st not have lain here ! ’ ”
From the same account we learn that Elizabeth was the name of John
^ Lawrence's wife ; she visited and tended George Whitehead when

, I “Sick of an Ague and Fever,” in 1661.

I As a note to a MS. account of Norwich Sufferings, 1683, we have

r “ Jn* Lawrence, an Antient man & Able phisitian.” Was he possibly
’ f an army surgeon ? Note also in letter dated 17th of 5th month, 1682,

i his anxiety about George Whitehead’s collar bone, that “it was right

» sett & carefully boimd vp.”

I He died at Wramphngham, 1685.8.31.

Dear G. W.

I haue thought ezceedinge longe to hear from thee, & the more
by reason of a letter w’ch Anth: Alexsaiider * did shew me lately, by w’ch j
understood thou hadst a fall of thy horse & broke thy coller Imone, j was
much concerned for thee, and did wish j had ben neer thee or thee w’th me,
and j would haue taken the best care I could of thee ; but j hope before
this thou art gott well of it, if it was right sett A carefully bound vp : I
desire j may rec’ a few lynes from thee that j may know how thou art as
allsoe how it is wth filinends ju that Citty : jn this County & at Norwich
especially ffriends are in great sufferinge. I bear their is 28 men in prisson
at Norwch & the magestrats are in a great rag;e & thretten to imprison all
both men & women, and haue (as I hear) prepared their bridwell to send the
women two : & haue taken goods from seurall : and in the Cuntrey we are
Jnditted or p'sented at eury Assizes & sescions: j gave thee an account
how j was fined 30" 15* and the Constables tooke my Cowes & droue them
to a layer but could not sell them the next day after the Justice had sent
his warrant for the Constables, & when they appeared before him he sent
them both to prison, & before he would let them haue their liberty they
weir forst by him to prcure two sufficient men to be bound in a 160“ for ther
appearance at last sescions : and before last sescions they droue my 3 Cowes
to Norwch Market & sould one of them for 40*, the other they could not
sell, for y* Constables appeered at sescions and y* Justice whose name is
Houlton Jnditted them for not executting their Warant & they stand bound
over vntill next sescions : what further will be done ag* them & me j know
not : the Lord j beleue will in his owne time make a way for his people
that fear him & trust in his holy name : i rec^ a letter this day directed to
me from Benj. Antrobusf wth an epistle from G. ft., w’ch j shall take care

* Anthony Alexander was a tanner of Norwich. He met with much violence
from the officers of that city ; at one time the officer said to Anthony Alexander’s
wife “that he was come to seize all they had, and would not leave them a bed to lie
on. They brake the Doors with a Pickax, and behaved so desperately, that some
Neighbours wept at the Sight of it.” — Besse’s Sufferiugt, vol. i.

t Benjamin Antrobus was one of the early Ix>ndon Friends. He was a linen
draper “ Att the Plow A harrow in Cheapsyde.” His preaching seems to have been
chiefly confined to London. He suffered imprisonment and distress of goods many
times. Besse’s Colleetion of Sufferingt, vol. i., tells us that in 1685 he was set at
liberty after an imprisonment of 2 years, 6 months, 1 week, and 5 days.

He appears to have acted as Ijondon agent for Friends in the country. In a
letter to him from Lancashire, dated 23. 9 mo. 1684, we read — “To whom
[Benjamin Antrobus] we Alwayes make knowne or buissiness (nut knowing whoe is
Appoynted) for our County, soe desire thy excuse A Caro for vs.”

His name appears several times in George Fox’s will, 1697 ; sometimes in con¬
junction with “Mary,” who we may assume was his wife. From the following
extracts from George Fox’s will we may conclude that Benjamin set aside a room in
his house for George Fox — and possibly other friends visiting London — to store
their belongings : — “ And my Ham’ock I do give to Tho. Lower that is at Beinamin
Antrobus his closett” . “And my other little Trunck that standeth in Benja¬

min Antrobus his closett with the outlandish things Thomas Lower shall have ” ;

parish of St. James, Clerkenwell, aged 70 years.

* Francis Bugg of Mildenhall in Suffolk joined the Society about 1659, and
Buffered imprisonment in Ely gaol. In 1680 he separated himself from Friends and
became their bitter opponent. He wrote many controversial books. The last book
he published was in 1724 ; in it he records that he was in the eighty>lourth year of
his age. Nothing is known of him after that time.

t Edward Miles was a farmer of Thazton. He had his horses and farm
produce seized several times, once to the value of £116.

Dear G. W.

In that Loue w’ch waxeth not old doe j dearly salute thee & thy
wife & ffriends their, as thou hast fredome to mention my name. I had
thoughts before this to haue writt to thee, but j still wayted j* j might giue
thee a fuller account how things are in this County as conserninge fiends,
whose sufferings are (and its like wilbe) very great, seurall ffriends beinge
prscecutted vpon y« Act for 20“ a month : the Bayles haue lately taken from
the wid: Mo’ny of Tiuitshall 4 Cowes, & ceased her hay, & from Bobt:
Bransby of y® same Towne they haue his Cowes, & from Tho: True of
Dearhaiu they tooke allmost all he had except his Loome to worke in &
Likewise from seurall others. Some ffriends are prisoners, as Edw: Mills &
his kinsman & others. And heere is one Justice Houlton, who rage &
storme ag‘ ffriends, & force constables to p'sent all y* come not to their p'ish
church, & giue to some an oath as they report to answer to such questions
as he shall demand & then aske insnareinge questions. The Justices had a
Meettiuge last weeke at Hetherset, & this Justice Houlton forst y* constable
to p'sent me & my wife for a month’s absence, as I here, allthough y®
constable tould him y* my wife was in such a weake condition y^ she was not
able to goe. I gaue y® an account in my last how he had forst two women
to be jnforiners ag‘ me for haueing a meettinge at my house, & granted his
warants to haue distresses taken of my goods, & neuer sent fur me to shew
cause why j should not be fined.

And he, y® 8“ Houlton, haue acted very highly ag‘ the Constables,
although they did exsecute his warants, for they tooke two Cowes of myne
& drone them to Wimondham fayer, but they could not sell them, & my
Cowes cum home : next day after they went to Justice Houlton to giue him
an account of what they bad done. And he sent both y® constables to the
jayle, wheir they continowed that day, but at night hee let them be bayled
out till next sescions, & to be of y® goo<l behaiuour vntill then. And vpon
y® 7“* day last, being the 30*“ of y* 7*“ month, the oflBcers came & tooke 3
Cowes of myne (all j had) & droue them to Norwch, & sould one of them,
the other they could not sell, & they cum home agaiue. And what he will
do ag* y® Constables at y® sescions j know not, but such a violent man I
haue not knowne, he rages & storms at such a rate as the poore officers are
affrayed of him, but y® Lord can put a stop to bis furie, soe its good for
ffriends patiently to wayt upon the Lord & nut to fear what man can doe to
vs. And soe in dear loue & w’th hart resined into y® hands of y* Lord, j

very violent, but I hope y* lord will make a way for his poore sufferings

pretend they haue order from the King to put the lawes in execution ag* all

not suffer his poore subiects to he in this manner tironised over. Well, y^

THREE SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY SERMON
PAMPHLETS.

A small quarto volume of sixteen seventeenth-century sermons,
etc., formerly possessed by the late J. Copeman of Loddon and the
Rev. Edward Postle of Yelverton, contains : — | The Magistrate’s
Authority asserted j in a Sermon | preached at the Cathedral |
Norwich | by James Paston, M.A., Rector of | Tinningham {tie) in
Suffolk. Loudon | printed by J. D., are to be sold by William | Oliver,
Bookseller in Norwich, 1673. | It is dedicated to Robert Bendish,
Esq., Mayor of the City of Norwich, at whose importunity, it is stated,
the sermon was printed ; and it must be acknowledged it merited the
approval thus accorded. It emphasizes the truth that “ no worship
can be without some Ceremonies, and no peace, order, or decency
without unity in those ceremonies.”

Another discourse is entitled | David’s Recognition | with | a
Parallel betwixt his and our | present Soveraig^n’s Sufferings and
Deleverances 1 set forth in a | fSermou I preach^ | at Grymston in
Norfolk before the | Right Worshipsful Captain Roger Spelman | and
his foot company there celebrating the 30th anniversary of his
Majestie’s Nativity 1 May 29, 1660 | by R. Feltwell, Vicar of East
Walton I London, 1660. | It is dedicated to Sir Edward Barkham,
” by whose goodness I was taken as a brand out of the flames of
persecution and set in a secure place.” In a further address or
dedication to Colonel Richard Whitley of ” this Panegyrick (preached

MY GREAT-QRANDFATHEE’8 PAPERS.

The following letters and papers were found among manj old
family deeds and writings belonging to the late Robert Partridge of
Shelley Hall, near Hadleigh, Suffolk, wbo was born there in 1773,
lived there all his life, and died there in 1854, aged 81.

No. 1 and No. 2 are gossipy letters, written at the end of
George II.’s reign, from Canterbury by Mary Tanner, daughter of
Archbishop Potter, and wife of Thomas Tanner, D.D., Rector of
Hadleigh from 1745 — 1786. A marble tablet, surmounted by an um,
on the south wall of the north chapel in Hadleigh Church, bears the
following inscription : —

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF THOMAS TANNER, D:D:

RECTOR OF THIS PARISH, AND PREBENDARY OF
CANTERBURY, WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE, MARCH 11'*'“:

1786, AGED SIXTY EIGHT ; AND ALSO TO THE
MEMORY OF MARY TANNER, HIS WIFE WHO DYED
THE 30'*": OF APRIL 1779, AGED FIFTY SIX.

IN FILUL AFFECTION AND GRATITVDE
(as A SMALL TRIBVTE TO THE EXEMPLARY
OONDVCT AND MANY EXCFJXENT VIRTVES OF
TWO MOST INDVLGENT AND KINT) PARENTS,)

THIS MONVMENT IS ERECTED.

Mrs. Tanner was aged about 33 and about 36 respectively when
these two letters were written. She wrote a beautiful hand on small
quarto sheets.

The second letter is addressed to Lady Martin, who was probably
the “ Dear Madam ” to whom No. 1 is addressed. She was probably
Martha, wife of Sir Roger Martin of Long Melford, third baronet,
but 1 cannot give her maiden name. Sir Roger died in 1762, and was
succeeded by his son, Sir Mordaunt. Papers Nos. 3 and 4 relate to
Sir Roger’s widow, the said Dame Martha Martin, who in 1774 was
living at Higham. In 1772 she was mentioned in the will of Eliza¬
beth Stubbin of Higham, spinster, eldest daughter of John Stubbin
of Sulley’s in Raydon, by Elizabeth his wife, daughter and heiress of
Richard Partridge of Holton St. Mary. The testatrix bequeathed to
Dame Martha Martin, widow of Sir Roger Martin of Melford, ten
guineas for mourning, “ and it is my Will and Desire that the said
Dame Martha Martin may have the liberty of breaking up and taking
away such fflowers. Shrubs, and Plants which at the Time of my
Decease shall belong to her.”

Mrs. Tanner’s most intimate friends in Suffolk seem to have been
Lady Martin, the Mannock’s of Gifford’s Hall in Stoke-by-Nayland,
and the Rowleys, who had then lately purchased the estate of
Tendring Hall in Stoke.

The Mannocks, “ whose ancestors long since derived from
Denmark,” * had been seated at Gifford’s Hall since the early part of

* Su monument in Stoke Church to Sir Francis Mannock, first baronet, who
died in 1634.

270

THE EAST ANGLIAN ; OR,

Henry YI.’s reign. They were staunch Catholics, and from time to
time suffered severely for adherence to their faith. Their last male heir
of the name, Sir George Maunock, ninth haronet, died 14 June, 1786,
“ being overturned in the mail coach, about nineteen miles from
London, on his way to the continent.” I have somewhere heard or
read that when he succeeded to the title and estates, he was a Priest in
Holy Orders, and was killed while on his way to Rome to be
“unfrocked." On 7 Nov., 1788, two years after Sir George’s death,
the will of my great-great-grandfather, Arthur Partridge of Shelley
Hall (whose lands adjoins the Mannock estate), was witnessed by
“ Thompson the Priest at Gifford’s Hall.” Arthur Partridge died in
1789, and tradition relates that his death was due to a fall which he
had when returning home one day after calling at Gifford’s Hall. He
was remotely connected with the Mannocks. his great-grandfather,
Daniel Partridge of Holton St. Mary, “generosus,” having married
in 167^, Mary, daughter of Edward Mann, Esq., of Ipswich, whose
second wife w'as Dorothy,* daughter of Anthony Mannock of Stoke-
by-Nayland.

In 1789 William Comyns, Esq., came into possession of the
Gifford’s Hall estate, and took the name of Mannock. Among my
great-grandfather Robert Partridge’s papers are letters written to him
by “ W“ Mannock" in the years 1811 and 1818. Mr. Mannock died
without issue in 1819, when the property devolved upon Patrick
Power, Esq., who a.ssumed the name of Mannock, being descended
from them through the Strickland family. He died in 1874. His
eldest son, Walter Mannock Strickland Mannock died in 1898, aged
seventy-two, and the latter’s brother, Lieut.-Col. Francis Anthony
Strickland Mannock, died in 1902, at Hastings, aged sixty-seven.

Dear Madam,

I take the first Post to acquaint you that we arrived safe here
last Wednesday, had a very fine day, but found the Roads as we expected,
very Slippery and Dangerous, and extremely Cold indeed. We left London
last Saturday, went to Farningham,* to return M" and M' Lempriere’s visit,
who you may remember with us the Summer before last ; they have a sweet
pretty place, and we passed our time as agreeably as the Season woiid
permit. Stayed with them till Wednesday, they are about five miles out of
the Great Road. We got here about five o’clock on Wednesday, found M™
Milles with a very bad Cold, the little Girls very well, and all not a little
glad to see us. The youngs one [*k] play all day long, and how they will
do to part when our time is out I cannot tell. M” Milles enquired very
much after you, and your good Family, and returns all your Comp‘* with
Interest. 1 shoud have wrote to you while I was in Town, but being pretty
much hurried, as I always am when 1 stay so short a time there, desired
M'* Hossack to let you know we got safe there, she and the Captain were

very well, dined with us one day, and Charlotte Hossack with them, have
g^t a pretty little snug house, in a much better situation than their last,
have promised we will dine with them one day as we go back again. We
had the pleasure of meeting M' Frank Mannock * and his Lady at S' William
Eowley’s* the day before we left Town, and very merry we all were, our
good Friends at Gifford’s Hall went round in a Bumper. S' William’s Family
seeme<l in high Spirits, shoud rather have imagined they were great gainers
rather [last word struck out] than loosers by this Change in the Ministry ; *
I told them if they were not sorry, we had no reason, as we shoud have
more of their Company for the time to come, that 1 was sure it woud be the
most agreeable news we could send into the Country, that you woud all
rejoyce with us very Sincerely upon the Occasion, and indeed they all
expressed much pleasure in the thoughts of passing more of their time at
Tendring Hall. M'* Doughty and M'* Mannock her Daughter* were so kind
as to call at our Lodgings one Evening, I was not at home, which I was
very sorry for, when I go to Town again, I intend to try if 1 can be so
lucky as to find them at home. Captain and M'* Donkley came to S' W.
Rowley’s just as we had dined, in vast high Spirits, S' W. was so lucky as to
get him a very good Ship (I forget the name) before he was dismissed, which
they seemed vastly pleased with, they came unexpected, and thought
[erased] thought themselves lucky to meet so many of their Suffolk Friends.
I hope you have escaped Colds, I have scarce met with any body that has,
we have all had very bad ones, but thank God we are pretty well now.
Long to be Playing a Game at Cards with good S' Frances and Lady
Mannock,* which we hope to do at X™*. Our kindest and best Respects
attend them, and y'self, with comp^ to M' Porter, and believe me Dear
Madam, y' very affectionate Friend,

M. Tanner.

It would be interesting to gather further information about Mrs.
and Mr. Lempriere of Farningham ; Mrs. ^lilies of Canterbury and
her little girls ; Captain, Mrs., and Charlotte Hossack ; Captain and
Mrs. Donkley ; and Mr. Porter.

If letter No. 1 was not written to Lady Martin, it may have been
written to the wife of this “ Mr. Porter.” I do not, however, know of
anybody of that name living near Hadleigh in the middle of the
eighteenth century.

No. 2.

During the three years that elapsed between letters No. 1 and
No. 2, Sir Francis Mannock, fourth baronet, had died and been
succeeded by his eldest sou, Sir William.

* Probably Francis, second son of Sir Francis Mannock, fourth baronet. He
married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Stonor of Watling Park, Oxfordshire.
Succeeded his nephew as seventh baronet, and oh. s.p. in 1778.

* Sir \V. Rowley, K.K., Admiral of the Fleet, who purchased of Sir John
Williams the estate of Tendring Hall in the parish of Stoke-by-Nayland, and died
in 1768.

* From Newcastle to Pitt.

* Thomas Mannock, third son of Sir Francis, fourth baronet, married, as first
wife, Mary, daughter of Qeorge Brownlow Doughty of Snarford Hall, Lincolnshire.
He succeeded his brother Sir Francis (tee note 2) as eighth baronet, and ob. s.p. in
1781.

* Sir Francis Mannock, fourth baronet, married Frances, daughter and heiress
of George Yates, Esq., of North Waltham, Hampshire. He died in 1758, and she
in 1761.

Canterbury,

Dec' 7“' 1759.

Dear I^ady Martin,

Your kind Letter dated Nov' the 16“*, I reC* in due time, and
thank you very much for it. It was so long after I wrote to you before I
heard from you, that I began to fear you had not rec** one from me, as my
Letters were so tossed about last Winter, and that made me desire M" Ottey
woud send to enquire about it ; and I was very glad to hear you were all
well, and being engaged in so much good Company is a very good reason
for your Silence. I shoud have acknowledged the receipt of yours sooner but
stayed on purpose to tell you that we hope to be at Hadleigh on Saturday
the 22‘* Instant ; I believe we shall go through Colchester, which I mention
only that you may not be looking out for us all day and be disappointed in
not seeing us pass by, but we shall hope for the pleasure of seeing you and
Lady Mannock'', as soon after as you please. I dare say you find it very
dull since the Bowley Family went to Town, and you must have a great
Loss in M'* Crooke. I shall call upon M' and M" Manuock^, and all my
other Friends as I pass through Town, and if I can do any thing while I am
there for good Lady Maunock^ or yourself, pray Command me. we leave
this place the 15“*, and shall be at M** Leverlands in Southampton Street
Covent Garden till the Friday following. I am much in fear that our good
Friend M” Hossack is still in expectation of seeing her good Man, I have
had but one Letter from her since I came here, and then she did not know
when he woud get home, but promised to let me know, and as I have not
heard I am afraid he is not yet arrived at his own House ; I am sure I pity
her extremely, for she has Suffered a great deal ; she talkd of going to
him, but whether she did or not I cannot tell, 1 am very glad to hear
S' William and Lady Mannock* are well, and their young Governor*® also,
for I suppose he may be called so by this time. I fear Lady Haukey** was
greatly shocked at the Misfortune which happened to her Maid, it must be
very shocking to all the Family, I want to know what became of the poor
Creature. I am very sorry poor M™ Paul was so ill, when you wrote, I
wish much to know how she does. I am desired by M” Milles to present
her best Comp** to you and Lady Mannock, D' Tanner also joyns with me
in Sincere good wishes to Lady Mannock and yourself, I am

No. 3.

No. 4.

Lady Martin of Higham by S' Roger Martin’s Settlement on her holds
an Estate called Smitten Hall in y' Parishs of Bulmer, &c., a considerable
barn whereof was burned down by lightning. Q' is Her Ladyship obliged
to build it up and if her tenant does not require it of her can S' Maudant
Martin come upon her, her heirs, executors, or assigns to build up y* same
now or after her decease— the above estate is settled upon her without
impeachment of Waete.

In y* above settlement no mention is made of her being obliged to [do]
any repairs. Q' who is to furnish out Timber for y* above repairs.

[In another handwriting.]

I am of Opinion Lady Martin is not obliged in Law to rebuild the Barn
burnt down by Lightning ; this Estate being part of Ladyship’s Jointure,
she is only Tenant for Life, and as such, cannot be answerable for any
accidental Waste or prejudice to the Freehold; and therefore S' Maudant
(who I take for granted has the immediate Estate of Inheritance) Cannot
oblige her Ladyship or her Exors &c to rebuild it.

As to the second Question, If this Estate is settled upon Lady Martin
{without Impeachment of Waite) the Law gives her, tho’ only Tenant for

An Essex parish, seven miles north of Halstead. In 1866 George Coote,
farmer, was living at Smeeton Hall.

THE BAST ANGLIAN; OR,

Life, as great a power as if she had been Tenant in Fee, and she will have a
Eiglit to out down any Timber Trees growing upon the Estate which are
not ornamental, as Trees planted for Eidings“ or Avenues &o, or for Shelter
to any House. If it is not settled upon her without Impeachment of
Waste, her Ladyship will in that Case, have a Bight to cut down Trees for
necessary Reparations, without being obliged to make application to any
person for that purpose; but in this latter Case, it will be advisable for
Lady Martin, not to cut any more than sho** be necessary, or to convert the
Timber to any other purpose but Repairs, either by selling it, or changing
it for any other matenals.

CHURCH DISCIPLINE IN THE DIOCESE OP ELY
DURING THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.

In a recent London bookseller’s catalogue, fourteen original
documents (folio and quarto) of singular interest were offered for sale.
These were referred to as “ Church Penances under Elizabeth,” a.d.
1586 — 1596. A hasty glance at these MSS. reminded us at once of
similar penitential forms given in the appendix of papers (copied from
the originals, formerly of Dr. Nalson, afterwards in the custody of
Dr. Philip Williams, President of St. John’s College, Cambridge)
comprised in Dr. Zachary Grey’s “Impartial Examination of Vol. IV.
of Neal’s Hittory of the Puritant.”* Curiously enough, all these
documents relate to parishes in the Ely Diocese, both the MS.,
originals, and those printed by Grey having in all probability formed
one and the same collection. How they became disconnected, and
through what hands they may subsequently have passed, we cannot
conjecture, but from the uniform style, neatness of handwriting, and
clean condition of the MSS., it would seem likely that they may have
strayed from some diocesan or archidiaconal record room. At all
events they have at least been preserved.

The bookseller’s catalogue states that the documents contain
“ full details of the penances imposed on certain persons for various
offences against the Commandments of God and the Church, all
signed by the several ecclesiastical authorities, and addressed to the
vicar concerned.”

All who are familiar with the conditions of Church life prevalent
at the period named, will know the nature of these documents, while
the precise terms employed will be specially interesting.

One of these papers, termed “ A Confession to be made by .

of . ” is prefaced by a statement to the effect that “ the said

. shall upon Sunday . immediately after the reading of

the Gospell come forth of his seate in the Church of . unto the

middle Ailye there to the place where the Minister reads the said
Gospell, and there standing he shall with a loud voice say and con-
fesse as followeth : —

“Good Neighbours, I acknowledge and confesse that I have
offended Almighty God, and by my evil example you all, for that,
&c., &c., and I humbly beseech God and earnestly desire you all to
pray to God for me, and to forgive me, promising by God’s grace
never to offend hereafter in the like again.

“ And of the doing hereof . he shall personally certifye

together with these presents at Great St. Marie’s Church in Cambridge

upon . and there receive such further order signed by either

Ric. Bridgwater, Bennet Thorowgood, or Thomas Amy.” f

Then follows a certificate, signed by vicar and churchwardens,
that the confession was duly made and the penance performed.

THK EAST AHOLIAW ; OB,

In one case the late churchwardens, for neglect in their office
(inasmuch as tiiey did not present a parishioner fur iucontinency), are
brought under precisely similar discipline.

The ofiFences alleged include: — “Not coming to Church in due
time upon the Sabbath daye,” “ not going in an orderly manner to
the Parish Church (and presumably not leaving in an orderly manner)
upon Sundays and Holidays,” * “ being absent from the Parish
Church,” “sitting and drinking in the house during Evening Prayer
time on the Sabbath daye,” “ sleeping in Church,” “ working a horse
and cart on an Easter Monday morning during service,” “adultery,”
“harbouring a woman during conhnement,” “playing Cards on a
Sunday,” “allowing a Servant to carry a sheep rack to the pasture ou
Sunday,” “making discord between neighbours,” for being “a prat-
linge gossip,” “ a scoulder and a slaiiderouse person,” “ a sower of
strife amongest neighbours,” for “ mowing on a Sunday after Evening
Prayer,” &c., &c.

The parishes mentioned include Waterbeach, Ickleton, Harston,
Bottisham, Great Wilbraham, Witcham, Cotteuham, Stapleford,
Sutton, Ely, &c., &c.

It would appear that the inevitable fees were expected, for in the
case of Ickleton is a curious endorsement addressed to the man in
authority: — “ Syr, I know not what was rated to be payd upon his

doing of the Penance, but ye shall have it . and somewhat

towards the Collection for the Minister’s wyfe also,” &c., &c.

While the abject confession includes an earnest expression of
sorrow and amendment, and the craving of God’s forgiveness, no kind
of absolution appears to have been pronounced, or at anyrate certified.

It was in the church of the Holy Trinity in Ely (for the Isle of
Ely) that these certificates of performance were presented ; in other
cases, in Great St. Mary’s, Cambridge.

THE CAELTON COLVILLE EMIGRANTS.

In the year 1836 a large number of the inhabitants of the parish
of Carlton Colville, Suffolk, decided to seek fairer fortunes in another
land, and some particulars of this emigration may be of interest.

Owing to its proximity to the town of Lowestoft, and to the
well-known Oulton Broad, this parish increased in population very
rapidly during recent years. It has now been divided for Local
Government purposes, and a portion is included in the newly-formed
Oulton Broad Urban District. At the date mentioned, however, the
parish was chiefly a rural one.

It should be stated that the parishioners had power to borrow
any sum of money, not exceeding half the average yearly Poor Rate

• “ Does any parishioner,” inquires Bishop Montague in his Visitation Articles
for the Diocese of Norwich (1638), “ come into the Church • • • to the disturb¬
ance of the auditors, profanation of the Church, contempt of God and His Service ;
a course never practised among Fagans."

for three years, for the purpose of assisting the emigration of poor
persons settled in the parish, and to charge the repayment of the sum
on the Poor Rates.

At a meeting of the ratepayers and owners of property held at
the Church, on Thursday the 14th April, 1836, it was resolved: —
“ That the sum of £150 be forthwith borrowed by the Churchwardens
and Overseers, as a fund or contribution for defraying the expenses of
the emigration of poor persons having settlements in this parish, &
being willing to emigrate, to be charged upon the rates to be raised
fur the relief of the poor in this parish, & to be applied under such
rates, orders, and regulations as the Poor Law Commissioners in
England and Wales shall in that behalf direct, and the said Church*
wardens & Overseers were directed by the said meeting to borrow
such sum of £150 accordingly, to be repaid by five equal annual
instalments of Thirty pounds each, with interest not exceeding £5 per
cent, per annum.”

The minutes of this meeting were signed by Edward Jermyn,
Rector; John Durrant, Vestry “Clarke”; and the Churchwardens
and Overseers.

The foregoing resolution was communicated to the Poor Law
Commissioners for England and Wales, who were the forerunners of
the present Local Government Board. On the 28th April the Com¬
missioners granted the necessary Authority for borrowing the money,
subject to the following conditions, viz. : —

(1) The parties emigrating shall go to some British Colony.

(2) A contract shall be entered into for conveying them to such
place on the way to their destination as the Poor Ijaw Commissioners
for England and Wales or the Agent-General for Emigration shall
approve.

(3) Such contract shall be sanctioned by the Agent-General for
Emigration, or by one of the Government Emigration Agents at the
outports, and shedl include the maintenance and medical attendance of
the emigrants during the passage ; and also a provision that, on
arrival at the place to which the parties are contracted to be conveyed,
the sum of £2 at least shall be paid to each head of a family emigrat¬
ing, and £1 at least to each single man or woman, not being part of
a family.

This authority was dated the 28th April, 1836.

It can be imagined that a good deal remained to be done before
the arrangements for the voyage were complete. There were journeys
by the Overseer to the port of Yarmouth ; there was the getting
together of the provisions and other things granted to each family,
and no doubt many other matters to be attended to. There would not
be much time for sad thoughts, but the adult members of the family
must have realised that, with the depressed state of the old country,
there was little chance of their returning to the familiar Suffolk
village.

However, the day of departure arrived, and the little flock set
sail in the brig “Carron” — Captain William Elliot. One family,
however, sailed in the brig “Morning Star” — Captain Davidson.

THK BAST ANGLIAN ; OR.

During April and May, 107 Carlton Colville men, women, and
children departed for Canada. The majority were labourers with
their families, but one emigrant was described as a carpenter.

The £150 borrowed by the Churchwardens was expended in the
passage monies, and in the grants given each family, as required by
the Commissioners. In addition to this, each family was provided
with a stock of provisions, and the particulars of the goods supplied
to one of the families are as follows : —

It is safe to assert that these stores would be increased by many
small gifts of home comforts from friendly neighbours.

The spectacle of a small rural parish voluntarily taxing itself for
five years in order to give a fresh start in life to some of its poorer
inhabitants is certainly an instructive one. The population of Carlton
Colville at this time was probably about 500 or 600. Another family
was sent in 1837, sailing in the same brig, the “ Carron.”

In addition to the articles mentioned, one family was supplied
with shoes and a blanket, another with sugar, tea, groats, &c. The
cost of the tea was At. a lb. Other expenses included the Overseers’
payments for beer, horses, tolls, &c., at Yarmouth and Gorleston.
The charge of Ad. for a letter gives the rate in operation previous to
the introduction of the penny post in 1 840.

It is unnecessary to seek far for the reason for this almost whole¬
sale emigration, for we can safely assume that Carlton Colville was
not the only parish to exercise its power in this respect. To look
back a few years, there was the panic and crash of 1825-6, the cause of
fearful misery and distress to the poor and labouring classes. At the
time of Qeorge lY.’s death there was general want throughout the
country. The spirit of dissatisfaction was growing stronger and
stronger. Machinery was everywhere smashed, factories were burned
down, and starving gangs went about the land. Although corn was
so scarce and dear, a very large quantity of this valuable commodity
was wilfully burned. The year 1831 was one of agitation and riot.
The following year saw the passing of the Reform Bill, and the same
year the country was devastated by cholera. It must also be
remembered that the old Poor Laws existed until 1834, and that they

have been described as placing a premium upon vice and immorality,
and as operating most powerfully in degrading and debasing the
labouring classes. The year immediately preceding the emigration,
1835, was again marked by serious agricultural depression, and
distress amongst the poor was universal.

So much for the past. Let us hope that the Carlton Colville
emigrants found good recompense for their labour in the new land.
It would be interesting to learn something of their subsequent
fortunes, and also to have particulars of similar emigrations from
other East AngUan parishes. Charles Chambers.

enough to see the present Chapel built and its congregation
flourishing. A rector of Croyden-cum-Clopton was deprived for
simony in 1695, and his successor (1697 — 1731) was non-resident, the
single Sunday service being taken by the Vicar of Arrington, who
received the stipend of 6* 8^ per Sunday for his pains. A grandson

THB BAST ABOLIAK; OK,

EEV. WILLIAM HURN, VICAR OF DEBENHAM, 1790—1823,
AFTERWARDS BAPTIST MINISTER AT WOODBRIDGE.

William Hum, who was Curate of Rattlesden from 1782 — 1790,
is said to have been the first Evangelical popular preacher in Suffolk
of the period referred to. He was born December 2 let, 1754, at
Breccles in Norfolk, where his father occupied an extensive farm, and
was admitted to Holy Orders by Dr. Younge, Bishop of Norwich,
on December 2l8t, 1781.

There is a book (scarce) called Brief Memorials of W. Ilurn, by
Esther Cooke & Ellen Rouse, published by Longmans & Co. at 4<. 6d.,
from which the following details are gleaned : —

He was “converted” about 1785 or 1786, and preached at
Shelland, July 2nd, 1786, lengthy extracts from this sermon being
given in the Memorials. He held the Curacy of Stowmarket, in
conjunction with that of Rattlesden, until January 9th, 1787, when
he left the former town to take up his residence at Rattlesden.
Here he “ laboured indefatigably to promote the welfare of immortal
souls.” He was, however, opposed by one or two of his parishioners,
and as his biographers state, by the Rector, “ who was inimical to the
truths of Christianity.” An effort that was made to remove him from
the curacy failed ; the Rector, who had given him notice, afterwards
honourably referring the matter to the Bishop and withdrawing the
notice.

In October, 1788, he was appointed by the Dowager Duchess of
Chandos one of her domestic chaplains, and in May, 1789, he was
married to Sarah, second daughter of Joseph Wharrie, Esq., of Hull.

In 1790 he was offered and accepted the living of Debenham,
and remained there until 1823, when, owing to conscientious scruples
as to his position in the Church of England, he accepted an invitation
to become minister of a Baptist Chapel at Woodbridge. It appears
that he first expressed his doubts in 1820. He died October 9th, 1829,
and was buried on October 15th in a vault in Debenham Church.

There is a mural tablet in that church with the following
inscription: — “To the memory of William Hum, thirty-two years
Vicar of this parish, and six years Minister at the Chapel, Woodbridge.
Distinguished through Divine grace for piety, faithfulness, and zeal,
he laboured with unremitting diligence and eminent success, both in
and out of the Established Church ; and in private life sought to
adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. He died
extolling the grace and mercy of his Redeemer, October 9th, 1829,
aged seventy-four years. His mortal remains are interred with those
of his beloved wife. Heb. xiii., 7, 8, ‘ Whose faith, &c.’ ”

The Brief Memorials contain specimens of his sermons, extracts
from correspondence, and a dissertation on the “ Infiuence of a Good
Example.” He also wrote a pamphlet, 4- Glance at the Stage, and
there is another, published in 1790 by J. Rackham, Bury, in defence
of the Fundamental Principles of the Established Chttrch,

Fairies in East Anolia (p. 242). — Mr. Partridge’s note is full
of interest. Fairies, of late, seem to have taken a very small place in
our local folk-lore, whereas two or three generations ago there were
many who still believed in the existence of the “ little people.” The
etymology of Elveden (Elves’ or Fairies’ den) which he refers to,
might perhaps be considered one of those very obvious-looking ones
which are so often wrong ; but I must own that it is one to which I
have always rather inclined, and for the following reason, viz., that a
very recent belief in fairies has existed there, and that the “ Fairies’
pit,” or “ Elves’ den,’-’ can still be seen at Elveden. I have actually
conversed with a very old inhabitant (since deceased), who had often,
when a child, heard the “ Elfin music ” issuing from the fairies* dell.
This good lady also informed me that the pit was always, if possible,
avoided at nightfall, and that (it is near the high-road) the fairies
bewitched the horse of any benighted traveller who passed, “ so that
the sound of its hoofs could not be heard,” though in what way this
could hurt the traveller it is difficult to see. The pit still remains and
is close by the high road, which proximity to “ Me Adam,” telegraph
wires, and motor cars has no doubt driven the fairies long since to a
more secluded retreat ! I think it is safe to say that it would take a
much bolder man now to avow a belief in the fairies than it did in
the old days to pass their abode after dark I Suefolciknsis

A Cathedral Lay Clerk as a Disturber of a Quakers’
Meeting at Norwich. — In a Quaker publication. Due Order of Law
and JuUice (published by Andrew Sowle at his shop in Devonshire
New Buildings, Without Bishopgate, 1680), being an account of the
molestation of George Whitehead and others, at the Goat Lane
meeting liouse in St. Gregory’s, Norwich, a leader in the disturbance
was “ Charles Alden, the Vintner, at the sign of the Charing Cross

. accounted a great singer at the Cathedral, i.e., one of their

singing men.” “ How immoral and brutish,” writes the Quaker
partizan, “ was his behaviour .... What ornaments such sons of the
Church can be to her let her Priests and all serious persons judge.”
This was on 2lst March, 1679.

- “Wick ob Dairy” and “Loading.” — The will of John Dynes
of Chich 8. Osith, Essex, yeoman, dated 28th Feb., 172^, and proved
in the Commissary Court of Ijondon, Essex, and Hertfordshire
Division, mentions farms called ffrowick, Knightly Loading, Hill
House ats Newmans, and Bentley Loading (commas in this list
inserted by me). It also contains the words, “ to have and keep a
Wick or dairy of twenty Cows,” .... “the said Wick of Cows.”

Much of the parish of S. Osyth consist of salt marshes watered by
creeks. Among its hamlets, eniunerated in a Directory of 1862, are
New Frowick, Block House Wick, Wigboro Wick, and Lee Wick.
Skeat gives wick, wich, a creek, bay, salt-pit, from Icel. vlk, a small
creek, inlet, bay. Apparently, the cows kept on these marshes or
wicks were formerly called a “ wick of cows.”

What is the etymology and exact meaning of loading ? Q p

[Probably from lade (A. 8., hladan), to lade or draw out water, to
drain ; hence lode, a water course or way (A.S., lad). Ing or meadow
through w'hich the water course passed. The “ lodes ” of the
Fen district are very much in evidence. It may be that the
Suffolk Hundred, Ix>thingland (Domesday, Ludingaland), has a like
derivation. Ed.]

In the will, dated 7 Oct., 1671 (P.C.C., 24 Daper), of Martin Folkes

“I will one tenemente in borough [Boroughe, co. Camb.J to helpe

f>oore people of Westeley and boroughe. If it should happenn that

poore at some other conveniente tyme in the yeare.” What is meant
by the taske of Westley? p

[The “ Taske ” (tax) was the parochial assessment. The reference
to the putting down of Lent is noteworthy and interesting. — Ed.].

SOME FUGITIVE VERSE.

Looking through an ancient Tolame of wills at Feterhorough
recently, I chanced upon a poetical curiosity, worthy perhaps of a
better fate than that of perpetual interment in one of His Majesty’s
strong rooms. It may be seen, by those who care to look at the
original, on the top flyleaf of Register II., University of Cambridge
Wills, 1558 — 1602. I g^ve it in all its innocence of punctuation : —

“ Who due wyll be a register
Shuld holde hys pen in right entyere
Ensearch he ought recordys of olde
The dowte to trye the right to Holde
The lawes to knowe he must contende
Old customys eke he shuld expende
No payiies to wright he maye refuse
Hys offyoe ellys he doth abuse.”

So far as my knowledge of them goes, wills are not a particularly
fruitful source of poetical finds ; but now and then one meets with a
metrical effort, embalmed in these musty human documents, of more
than average merit. As a specimen of the epitaph beautiful, the
following will take some beating. It occurs in the will (Arch. Suff.,
1622, fo. 128) of Edmond Harris of Henstead, Suffolk, “practitioner
in Physic,” who directs that it be placed upon his tomb in the chancel
of Carlton Colville Church. The good doctor’s childlike faith more
than atones for the weakness of the last two lines : —

“ Even suche as tyme that takes in trust
Our youthe our Age and all we have,

And paies us but with Earth and Dust
In darksome Night and silente Grave,

When we have Wandered all our Wales,

And spent the Storie of our Dales,

Even from that Grave of earth and dust
The Lorde will raise me uppe I trust.”

Of a different order, both as regards its merit and its animus, is
the following amusing screed, culled from the closely-written pages of
an old manuscript book which it was my good fortune, not long since,
to unearth from the accumulated rubbish of an Ely “junk” shop,
“The Conunon place Book of George Stevens, Overseer of Ely
Trinity,” to wit. The Bishop and the Dean and Chapter of Ely, it
should be premised, are Lords of the Manors of Ely Barton and Ely
Porta, of which the “farmers’ leases” alluded to were doubtless
liolden : —

“ Impromptu

on being told that the Audit Court was sitting at Ely,

Nov. 24, 1815, for renewing the Farmers’ leases.

At Ely lives a sprightly SPARK *

Of Rutland’s choice was he

COTTENHAM, CAMBRIDGESHIRE.
CHARTERS RELATING TO THE RECTORY MANOR.

Cottenham, in the County of Cambridge, has six Manors, viz.

(1) Pelham’s, which anciently belonged to the Monastery of Ely;

(2) The Manor of Crowland, given to the Lincolnshire house by a
priest named Turketel, a grandson of Alfred the Great ; (3) L’Isles,
in Cottenham, sometime of the De Lisles of Ridgmont and Hampton ;
(4) Sahams, Sames or Kaylys, which was owned by the Burgoyne
and Thursby families ; (5) Bardeley’s or Harlston’s,* which passed
{temp. Edw. III.) by co>heiresses to the Cottenham families of Mar¬
shall and Chambers, and is now in the possession of Christ’s College,
Cambridge ; (6) The Rectory Manor. The Charters here given
appertain to this latter Manor.

The Court Rolls of the Rectory Manor commence as early as
1428, and are of great interest and value. The names of the “ homage
men,” the customs and services of the Manor, the nature of fines
levied, payment of rent in kind, eg., in the form of fat capons or
“ wax of pollen,” to be made into tapers for the High Altar on the
Feast of all Saints, are of special interest. 'These Court Rolls men¬
tion the illustrious name of Fepys as early as 1431, and the name
occurs at intervals — sometimes as “Pepes” — in subsequent years of
the fifteenth century. This is an important fact, as it is generally
stated {vide “Memoir” prefixed to “ Pepys’ Diary) that the family
settled at Cottenham early in the sixteenth century.

'The Manors of Lisles, Croyland and Saham’s, after passing through
several families, were afterwards purchased by Thomas Hobson, the
Cambridge carrier, whose death so impressed Milton.

* St. John’s College claimed a Manor called Harlston’s, in St. Giles’, Cambridge.
It appears to have extended into Waterbeacb, &c. (6 Hen. IV.).

The Charters here printed are concerned with two properties —
(a) a messuage and croft in Cottenham ; (6) twenty-three-and-a-half
acres of arable and meadow land in Westwick. These lands form what
is now known as the “Church and Causeway Estate ” of Cottenham
parish. The documents themselves are of special value, owing to the
very full list of fourteenth and fifteenth-century personal names
which they contain, among them being the suggestive name of
Herward, and, from another point of view, the scarcely less interesting
name, Frithy.

There are one or two curious points to be noticed with regard to
these Charters, e.g.. Nos. 3 and 4 are dated die dominiea* ; 3 is peculiar
in having no list of witnesses to its execution or the affixing of the
seal.

With one or two exceptions, all the Charters are well preserved
and legible, but the contractions are often very arbitrary, and for this
reason the text has been transcribed at full length, only proper names
remaining contracted. There is only one indented Charter (that of
1 Henry YII.). The series which extends from 12 Richard II. to
the ninth year of Henry VII. is, with other documents relating to
the Manor, preserved in a chest deposited in the parish church.

tuage and eroft situate in Cottenham, Dated at Cottenham, second Friday

“ date,” hardly in the sense of a given point of time.

The Sokens, Essex, Wills of Inhabitants of. — The liberties
of the Sokens comprise the parishes of Thorpe-le-8oken, Kirby-le-
Soken, and Walton-on-the-Naze or Walton-le-Soken. According to
Excurtiont in the County of Ettex, vol. i. (1819), p. 110, “The Sokens
is derived from the Saxon »oe or toea, signifying immunity, peculiar
privileges and jurisdiction. Among others they claim that no bailiff,
except the lord’s bailiff, shall arrest any person within this liberty.”
It may interest Essex antiquaries to know that the wills of former
inhabitants of the Sokens are preserved in the Probate Office at
Ipswich. There is a calendar of wills of the period 1644 to 1855.
The administrations begin rather earlier. W R TT

QUERY.

SuTFOLK Words. — Four de lit as written on paper to me and
sounded by the speaker Iourey-L*et, four cross ways. In the north,
four lane ends ; Oer., leiten, to lead, conduct to — An Etymological and
Comparative Glottary of the Dialect and Provincialitms of Eaet Anglia,
by Nall ; London, 1866. Wright, in his Provincial Dictionary, says
Four-releet, the crossing of two roads {Suffolk) ; under the word Leet,
a meeting of cross roads {South). Bailey, in his Dictionary, does not
give the word, but says, under Leet of litibue, law suits or lite ; Sax.,
little ; q.d., a little court, &c. ; then Leett and Leite, meetings appointed
for the nomination or election of officers. This last explanation points
to Fourey-Leet or Four-releet as having a different root from Court
Leet; or, do both come from the word leiten, to lead to? Court-leet
would then mean a meeting or gathering of the court.

The word is still in use about here, as signifying a four-cross road.
How should the word be really spelt ? is there another derivation ?
Perhaps some correspondent will kindly correct or add to the above.

Bird of the Eye is still in use, meaning the pupil of the eye. No
satisfactory origin of the word given ; not noticed by Bailey.

Piffling — this word is seldom heard now. Nall, in his Qlottary,
gives it under Piggle ; spells it pyfle, to pick delicately. Wright gives
it as coming from pi^, to be squeamish.

* John Suckling was son of John Suckling of Eastgate in Woodton. In his
will (Car Ep. None. Rtg. Walpolt, fo. 126, I8th July, I6n3) he left his Woodton
estate to Rdbert Suckling of Norwich (afterwards M.P.). His widow Alice devised
Biggotte’s Wood in Woodton and Eastgate Field, in InSS, to her great nephew.
Of the present ring of six (1, Pack and Chapman, 1772; 3, 4, 6, and 6, John
Brend, 1641), the second bell is inscribed : — “Mr. Robert Suoklyng with others
gave this bell. 1641.”

Blomefield {Norfolk, vol. x., p. 190) says, “Robert Suckling, patron of this
living, son of Charles Suckling and Mary his wife, daughter and heir of Stephen
Drury of Aylsham, was High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1664, and died full of years
about 1690.”— £d.

Capt. Amos Todd of the Suffolk Yeomanky Cavalry. — A
Taxed Cart. — \ head-stone in Newton near Sudbury Church¬
yard. Suffolk, at the east end of the chancel, is inscribed —
In Memory of M' Amos Todd, who lived respected, and died
revetted, by a large Family, and a large Circle of Friends. He
commanded for many Years a Troop in the 1“ Regiment of Suffolk
Yeomanry Cavalry, and was so much respected by the Colonel and
the Members of the Troop that they have camsed this Stone to be
erected as alasting Proof thereof. He died Nov' T*** 1822, Aged 54
Years. Also of Elizabeth his Wife who died June 7**^ 1836, Aged
62 Years.

Another head-stone is for: — Susanna the sixth Daughter of the
late Captain To<ld of this Parish, who died in 1823 aged 18.

It is related that, when the taxed-cart regulations came into
operation. Captain Todd, who seems to have been of a facetious turn
of mind, had painted on his cart, not

AMOS TODD, ACTON, A TAXED CART,

but

A MOST ODD ACT ON A TAXED CART.

Presumably Capt. Todd was previously connected with Acton, by
residence or otherwise. -n

THE EAST AHGLIAH ; OK,

The Cell in Norwich Castle (a.d. 1660) called “The Vice.”
AND OTHER DuNOEONs (p. 261). — A singular misprint appeared in the
interesting account relating to Captain John Lawrence of Wrampling-
ham. Describing the place of confinement shared by John Lawrence,
his brother, and George Whitehead, their place of “durance vile” is
termed “ a small narrow hole called the iet. The last-named expres¬
sion should have appeared as “ the vice." Printer and editor were alike
undisturbed by the error, inasmuch as the words following read : — “ The

' winter was cold . we burnt (says George Whitehead) a little

charcole in evenings,” . no chimney, &c.,&c. But “ice” or “vice,”

the term is expressive enough. Is anything further known of the place
and the use of the epithet ? The terms used in byegone days to
describe prison houses are curious* A prison in the Tower was called
“Little Ease,” and a singularly uncomfortable dungeon at the Bishop
of Lincoln’s Palace at Woburn possessed a like fascinating designation.
A place in the London Guildhall for unruly apprentices was similarly
known. A “Little Ease,” in Chester Jail, was known as “the hole
in the Rock.” In Colchester the place of incarceration, in which the
Quakers were laid, was called “ the Oven.” In liaunceston Jail it was
“ Doomsdale.” At Dorchester the Quakers made the acquaintance of
“ the Blind House ” * ^a.d. 1657). At Reading, a hundred years earlier.
Palmer the Martyr, with a fellow prisoner, was committed to what
Foxe calls “the comfortnble hostry of the blind house” {Acts and
ifonwm«n<y, vol. viii., pp. 213, 217, Pratt’s edition). Presumably the
“blind house'' was either a place with a dark or blind entry, having
but one opening, or it was lacking in light, probably having windows
high up. The expression, “blind alley” (having no outlet), may be
adduced by way of illustration. The term, “ blind house,” does not
appear to be included in any dictionary of local and other phrases.
Can any reader of the East Anglian give an instance of local use of
the expression ? _ __ _

three parts of this register begin in 1539. After the burials of the
year 1598 the following entry is written : —

Lydda vnderwood March the SO***

Parish Registers do not usually begin before 1538. Can any
other entries earlier than 1538 be quoted? q p

[There are isolated instances of earlier entries in several parish
registers. They are in all probability old family records, privately
entered, consequent upon the issue of Cromwell’s injunction and the
subsequent ordinance of Convocation, which promised permanence
and official recognition. The Great Waldingfield entry may be of
this class. — Ed.]

WISDOM AND CYPHER IN A CHX7ECH MS., BEIX)NQING
TO COTTENHAM, CAMBS.

In a MS. vestry book, perhaps a hundred years or so old,*
belonging to the Church of Cottenham, Cambs., are six [seven] Latin
lines, followed by an ingenious cypher rendering, which certainly
merit transcription. Why entered in this book among inventories
of church goods, &c., we are at a loss to conceive. They look very
much like eighteenth-century bell inscriptions, and may have been
suggested for the six fine-toned bells that now hang in the
Cottenham Church tower, re-cast in 1806 by John Bryant of
Hertford.

CuUm r$i Sacra
Convitiit non respondendum
Mutiu)a defensio tutissima
Deus regit omnia
Concordia Ecclesia regcnda cst
Absque Deo nihil possumus
Cognosce Teipsum.

The following cypher, for the unravelling of which we are
indebted to Mr. H. G Evelyn White of Wadham College, Oxford,
represents a translation of the above lines : —

G4ds w49sh3p 3s 18 h46y th38g.

Mutl66 d2f28c2 38 74Bt 8l83.

W22 cl8 d4 84th38g weth45t G4d.

K84w thy826f2.

The cypher is numeral : — 1 — 5 represent the five vowels; the first
10 consonants are in theory numbered 1 — 10, but 6 — 9 are the only
synilmls employed ; to avoid ambiguity the remaining letters are
numbered backtcardsi 9 = r, 8 = s, 7 = t, being the only signs used.
All other consonants, besides those mentioned, are written in the

to our notice.

ordinary manner. The following is a literal rendering of the
cypher : —

1. God’s worship is an holy thing.

2. Wee must not answer railling.

3. Mut[u]all defence is most safe.*

4. All things are changed in time.

5. God rulleth all things.

6. The Church is to be governed by concord.

7. Wee can do nothing without God.

8. Know thyselfe.

Number 4 is omitted in the Latin version.

In other form the lines may be given thus : —

Worship is a holy thing.

Answer not a reprover.

Silence is the surest defence.

God ruleth all.

In peace must the Church be governed.

Apart from God we can do nothing.

Know thyself.

It would be interesting to have further information. The lines
have a familiar sound ; they are apt and meet for all times. The
leisure of byegone days was more favourable than present times for
cypher making, and this instance is the more to be treasured in
consequence.

[Cole gives the following account of Mrs. Bowyer and her
relations: — “Besides the above estate of Sir Jacob Downing, Hart,
which devolves on the University of Cambridge,* another fine estate,
with a handsome house, at Putney, falls to his lady. It is said
Sir J. G. Downing died possessed of near £100,000 cash and stocks.
Lady Downing left her two nieces and nephew amply provided for.
Her ladyship, who wss daughter to a Mr. Price, a Welshman, of
Trinity College, Cambridge, and Curate of Barrington, was first kept
by Sir Jacob, and on an assurance that she would bring him issue, he
married her, but was disappointed. She was a very fine woman, but
passionate, and made him so good a wife that he left her all at his
death. Her two nieces were married, the one to a Mr. Say, whom I
remember a chorister in King’s College Chapel, rather stupid, but
sober and honest, son, as I take it, to Mr. William Say, Vicar of
Tadlow and Rector of East Hatley, in which he succeeded his father ;
the other to Mr. Hurst, Rector of Boxworth. Mr. Say, about 1776,
was removed to Loudon, with his family, by the desire of Iter lady¬
ship, when she settled £l0,0O0 on him, and at her death left him to
the amount, as I am told, of £2,000 per annum, among which is
Downing Street, so that Lord North, the Prime .Miuist r, is his
tenant; so that had he any address or ambition, he might be in a
good train for preferment, but is the meanest country parson I ever
saw. His wife was in a way to be married to an officer, much against

her ladyship’s inclination. She sent for this Mr. Say, knowing him
to be an honest man, and married her to him, and it may turn his
liead, and would probablj', had he been of a mure volatile and lively
cast than he is moulded of. The other clergyman is provided not so
an>ply for. Her ladyship, however, left him, as I am told, about
£7,000. I think he ha.s no children, and that might be the reason
of the distinction. Her ladyship and Mr. Bowyer could not agree.
He, however, now and then, besides her first large settlement on him
of £10,000, got £1,000 of her, from her passions, by striking him.
As they could not live easy, they went aboard the Albion man-of-war,
which at this time (Oct. 4th, 1778) is said to have perished and the
crew with her. He was left handsomely by her ladyship, as is said
about £10,000.

“On Wednesday, 16th. 1778, died at her house at Mount Pros¬
pect, in Putney, liady Downing. She- was buried at Croydon, Cambs.,
Sept. 25th, when Captain Whittington was chief mourner, to whom
she left the chief of her fortune, Mr. Bowyer and she not agreeing.
He is Captain of the Albion man-of-war.”]

REPLIES.

Piffling (p. 308). — Piffle is given in Bailey’s Dictionary (1733) as
a verb — to piffle = to filch. A literary reviewer of my acquaintance
uses the word “ piffling ” in disparagement of a work, in the sense of
trifling or rubbishing.

QUERIES.

East Anglian Armorials. — A few rubbings from armorials and
inscriptions have lately come into my possession, and I should be glad
to learn from what churches they were taken, and the position that
the memorials occupy in the same. Some belong to Hampshire, but
about half, 1 believe, are from East .\uglia. If any of the Eaet Anglian

340

THE EAST ANOLIAN; OR,

readers would kindly help me to locate them, I should feel greatly
obliged : —

1. Brass plate. Kneeling figure of Andrew Windsor, Esq., g^ndnhild to ye
Lord Andrew Windsor. Two shields. Only six lines of the inscription rubbed.

2. Inscription for Dame Dulcibella Hi vers. Died 1667.

3. Arms (fretty and a canton) and inscription for Henry Vernon of Famham.
Died 1656.

These three are apparently mural, the rest are from slabs.

4. Three crescents, impaling, bendy of six, three stags’ heads cabossed. Crest :
a demi-liou bolding between its paws a crescent. Perhaps for Boughlou and^£«ar6-
eruft.

5. Three urchins, impaling, a chevron between three trees eradicated. Crest :
an owl. Perhaps for Hatrit.

6. On a chevron between three owls a quatrefoil. Perhaps for Frott.

7. A chevron between three owls in chief, a crescent for difference, impaling,
ten estoiles (4, 3, 2, and I). Perhaps for Frott and Aitton. Within the horns of a
crescent an estoile, a crescent for difference.

8. Frott (F), as in the last, impaling, a stag's head couped at the shoulder,
within a bordure engrailed Fotheigill. This is placed in a lozenge.

9. A chevron between three swans’ heads erased. Crest : a swan's head erased
ducally gorged. The head is not rubbed.

10. Fothergilt, impaling, a chevron engrailed gouttee between three birds close.
Crest : a stag’s head (P).

11. A fret. Crest: a leopard’s head.

12. Three bustards rising, impaling, a chevron ermine between three crenels.
Probably Nevill and Witeman of Suffolk, and Great Canfield, Essex.

13. Crest of Wtteman, which may belong to No. 12.

14. Ermine, on a pile six escallops (3, 2, and 1), impaling three birds rising
{tet No. 12). Crest: an eagle's head erased holding an escallop

15. Thomas Denny of [.avenhain (1716) and wife (1709). Arms: Denny,
impaling, three crossbows. Crest : a cubit arm erect, holding in the hand a bunch
of seven ears of wheat.

The first words of the inscription, viz., those preceding “ uxoris
ohservautissimoe,” are wanting on the rubbing.

16. Four bars nebuly. There is a helmet, but whether there is any crest on it
is not apparent from the rubbing.

17. A chevron between three birds (perhaps sea-mews). Crest: a hawk prey¬
ing on a wing, or perched on a lure.

Henry Ij. Elliot.

Goifield, Halttead.

Stourbridge Fair and the Diocesan Clergy. — Thorold Rogers,
in his Six Centuries of Work and Wages, is answerable for the state¬
ment that “ on holidays and Sundays some one of the numerous
clergy in the Diocese of Ely, — for there were more in this than in any
other diocese* — or one of the monks from the neighbouring priory,
said mass in the ancient chapel which still stands near the spot, the
most notable relic of the greatness of this fair, now long departed
and forgotten.” Is there any warrant for the assumption that the
number of clergy in the Diocese of Ely in former days exceeded that
of any other? Upon what foundation would such a conjecture — it
would be little more — be based ?

Preiumahly towards the close of the thirteenth csutury.

A SIDE-LIGHT ON OLD NORWICH IN THE LAST TEAR
OF QUEEN MART.

Very clear and graphic is the picture of the times in which he
lired, as given in the will of Thomas Salter, a chantry priest of the
days of Queen Mary. We see before our eyes, in reading it, the
“ voide paved ground next Maister Cowper’s pew ” in St. Magnus
Church ; and hear the great bell tolling from six to twelve of the
clock on the morning of the funeral, and witness the service, with its
many lights and torches, and the procession of the bedesmen in their
russett gowns, and the Jesus fraternity of St. Olaves in their hoods
and tippets. Most interesting is the description of the brass to be
placed upon the dead man’s grave. Was the sunbeam, shining
from above upon the consecrated host, characteristic of the Marian
Period ? And then we note the great thoughtfulness for others in the
calling the poor “ hastily into the Cloyster, while my buriall is
a doing, and giving each man, woman, and child a loaf of new baken
wheaten breade, and letting them depart at the wicket that openeth
into Thames Streate.” They are hungry, and it is not charity to keep
them waiting. The touch of deepest sympathy is in all the good
priest writes. How he remembers old friends! Mr. Day the Wax
Chandler of St. Olaves, whom he wishes to be well and honestly

Jaid ; Robert Hencheball, that was “very fiendefull vnto” him;
ohn Plummer, whose greate disease and poverty has long been
on his mind ; Dame Katherine Peck ham, the “ pore sister of
Vincent Norman” who first taught him to know his letters; his
kinsmen far away in Norfolk, whose journey up to London, and
cheer and welcome when they come there, he so carefully provides
for; the prisoners in the jails, in danger of being defrauded by
their rascally keepers ; and Thomas Moone, the Smithfield barber,
who had helped him when he was in great trouble thirty years
before. His executor must first dine, before he goes to the houses
of the sick, the lame, and bedridden to deliver into their hands the
alms he has bequeathed them. The then clerk at the Probate
Registry, dead now these three centuries and more, struck by the
word picture in this will, has drawn in pen and ink upon the margin
of his transcript, a sketch of Mr. Leonard Sutterton,* the burly
Alderman of Norwich, a bearded man in well-furred gown and
Tudor cap, who has just delivered the letter to John Symonds (whose
name is written on his shoulder), who stands, hat in hand, amongst
his brothers and sisters. Their hats, by the way, are practically the
bowlers of th^ present day, and the details of their several costumes
are worthy the study of the social antiquary. This illustration is
exceedingly well done. One comes upon something of interest in
almost every line of this will, whose reference is P.C.C. 13 Welles.
It has been much abridged in the abstract which we subjoin. The
most notable item, perhaps, is the list of books which formed the

Christen man, I bequeath my sowle vuto allmightie god, and to the
glorious and most pure virgin Marie, mother of mercie, and to all the
hollie and blessed oompanye of heaven. I will that my bodie be

nexte vnto London bridge, in the voide paued grownde nexte vnto
Maister Cowper’s pewe, the Alderman, there to rest till god shall
raise it vpp agayne at the resurrexSSn day. I wilbe buried in the
forenone, and haue a Knyll rinige frome vj of the clock till none w*

sondaie in the lent nexte after my buriall daye, then to haue a
sermon by some sadde and discrete secular priest, that is well lerned
and a good catholique man in his livings. 1 will haue iiij honest
priests to beare my bodie vnto the churche and to laye me in my
grave. To euerie of the priestes, clerkes or singingmen of the
churche I doe giue viij**, if they be at my buriall. Also I will haue
ij cumely brauiiches of pure white waxe w* sixe lightes; the w'** ij
braunches will cost xiiij or xv*. Also I will haue iiij great tapers of

pore men that be free of the Salters company to beare the other vj
torches, and other iiij pore Salters for to holds the iiij great tapers of

doing I do giue to euerie one of the saide xvj pore Salters a Busset
gowne; and that the saide gownes be wide and side downs to the
ancles, and (have) wide poked sieves and narrows at the hands, after
a palmers garment. I do giue to eurie one of them a russet botton
cappe of the price of xij'*, and a grote to paie for their dyners that

for their pajnes I go giue them, as sone as masse is done, xl shillinges
for a recreaSSn, for them to take it where it please them ; ffor I am
not able to giue them a great dynner. I do g^ue the Churche of

and other xx* to the mayuteyninge of their godlie brotherode. 1 trust
they will preye for me, late one of their pore breathern. Against my
mouthe’s myndo I will have a graye mhle stone leyd vpon my grave ;
and I will that there be an Image of a priest w* an albe and a vest¬
ment upon him. graven in coppir of a cunuynge mbler, that dwellethe
in Saincte Dunstoii’s pishe in the West agaynste the sowth syde of the

eyes of the ymage to be grauen cloosed together, as all deade men’s
eyes ought so to be. And a little aboue the ymage’s head I will haue
a rolle grauen in copper, and these wordes grauen in yt : — “ Miserere

Kichard Symondes, John Symondes and Thomas Symondes, Elizabeth
Symondes and Elizabeth Symonds. They were y* children of an
honest yeoman called Robert Symondes which was nere Kinsman to
M' Raffe Simondes y* was ShrieSe and Alderman of London. (They)
were borne and christened in Suffeld, x myle beyond Norwiche
northwards ; and the mother of them was ther father’s last wife,
and she was my verey nere Kynswoman.f For as moche as ther
father and mother, Robert and Elizabeth, be both departed, 1 do giue

* Norman’s Hospital orig^inally consisted of fourteen men and women and a
master or chaplain. In 1429 fourteen women only were admitted. In 1668 the
number is seen to have been twenty-four. On the death of the last Wardeness the
beneficent character of the Hospital underwent a sorrowful change, the Dean and
Chapter acquired the house and its revenues, and between them and the City
Authorities the Hospital fared badly, the site eventually going to the City and the
revenues to the Dean and Chapter. The viscissitudes of this establishment are
well known, and, like similar episodes, not a little saddening. — [En.j

SOME NOTES ON DOROTHY WALPOLE AND
HER DESCENDANTS.

A writer in the Norfolk Chronicle, describing the sale of the
Townshend heirlooms at Messrs. Christie’s auction rooms, in March,
1904, has the following note appended to her {)ortrait8: — “The brown
lady, Dorothy Walpole, wife of the second and most famous Marquis
Townshend.”

Lady Dorothy Neville, in her Mannington and the Walpolee, calls
her “ the ill-fated Dorothy, who married Charles, second Viscount
Townshend, and who died tragically by falling down a staircase, in
1727, at Raynham.* For years this Dorothy’s ghost was supposed to
walk, or rather glide, up and down the grand staircase, and became
the terror to visitors and servants at Raynham.”

Dorothy was one of the nineteen children of Mr. Robert Wal-

E)le, whose marriage to Mary, only daughter and heiress of Sir Jeffry
urwell, Knt., by Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Thomas
Derehaugh of Colston, is thus recorded in the Vicar General’s Mar¬
riage Allegations (London) : — “ Robert Walpole of Houghton, co.
Norfolk, Esq., bachelor, about twenty, his parents dead, and Mrs.
Mary Burwell of Rougham, Suffolk, spinster, about sixteen ; consent
of father. Sir Jeffry Burwell of same, Knight, February 22, 1670-71.”

Of Mr. Walpole, hie descendant, H. S. Vade-Walpole, Esq., in
the Oenealogieal Mngatine, vol. xi., p. 302, remarks : — “ He was one of
the politest men in a coarse age. To show the high estimation in
which he was held, let me quote Humphry Prideaux, who seldom had
a good word for anybody. He writes, on Jan. 11th, 1699, when the
then Lord Lieutenant, Henry, Duke of Norfolk, was in a critical state
of health, and the question of his successor was hotly debated : — ‘ The
chiefe man of ye opposite faction to that which now prevails is Mr.
Walpole, who was Guardian of ye Lord Townshend ; if he be Lord
Lieutenant, all ye Duke’s party will come unto him as one man, and
Walpole will bring with him the other party ; if he do not, you
may be assured Walpole himself will joine with him.’ ”

Mr. Walpole was buried in the chancel at Houghton, in Novem¬
ber, 1700. The executors to bis will, dated May 20th, 1700, were his
wife and his son-in-law. Sir Charles Turner, Bart. To his dear wife
he left the rings which she usually wore, her diamond jewell, her
cabinet, silver and dressing plate, used in her chamber, her watch,
and apparell of all sorts. “Also a diamond ring given her by
my sister Wilson, and all the old gold in her custody, except that
which was called ingowne gold, which is a collection of old coins and
medals in purses by themselves with a note in of my own hand¬
writing in them . Likewise all the books used in the closett, her

father and mother’s pictures . Sir Charles Turner guardian of

all my younger children ; to the said Sir Charles, £10 and my diamond

my wife, my pointed diamond ring which was Mr. Pepys’.”

The following is ou the slab in the chancel at Houghton : —
“Robertus Walpole, Arm. Filius natu maximus Edwardi, militis
Balnei, et Susauuse. Hie sepultus est, decimo octavo die Novembris,
1700, .^tatis suse quinquagesimo ex decern quos genuit Filiis super-
fuerunt, Robertus, Horatio, Galfridus. Ex Filiabus septem Maria,
Dorothea, et Susanna.”

“ Maria”* was Mary, the eldest daughter, who married Sir Charles
Turner, and died on the 28th April, 1701. Buried at Warham St.
Mary (tM Farrer’s Church Heraldry of Norfolk). Mrs. Walpole sur¬
vived her husband ten tyears, dying a few days before the celebrated
naval victory of her son Galfridus in Yado Bay, on the 22nd March,
1711, on which occasion he lost his right arm. She was buried at
Houghton under the arms of Walpole with Burwell in pretence. Her
only surviving brother-in-law, Horatio Walpole, born 11th July, 1663,
from his swarthy complexion and brilliant black eyes was known by
the sobriquet of “ the black colonel,” was in Lord Peterborough’s
regiment of horse (now the 3rd Dragoon Guards), and married Lady
Anne Coke, widow of Robert Coke of Holkham and daughter of
Thomas, first Duke of Leeds. He resided chiefly at Beck Hall, on
the borders of Suffolk, which was Lady Anne’s dower house.

From family papers in the possession of Mr. Yade-Walpole,
Dorothy, who would appear to have spent much of her time, after her
mother’s death, with this uncle, was married from Colonel Walpole’s
house, in Dover Street, in July, 1713. Under June is the item —
“ paid by yourself for Lady Townsheud’s clothes, £120.” At the time
of her marriage to Lord Townshend,! Dorothy Walpole was twenty-
seven and the bridegroom thirty-eight. He was son of the celebrated
cavalier. Sir Horatio Townshend (created first Viscount), and was
already a widower. By his first wife, Elizabeth Pelham, sister of
Tiiomas, Duke of Newcastle (she died 12th May, 1711), he was father
of Charles (third Viscount), known as the ‘‘ weathercock,” born in
1700 (the year of the marriage of the famous statesman. Sir Robert
Walpole, to Catherine Shorter).

Horace Walpole,^ the letter writer, thus wrote of himself : — “ I
was born at my father’s house in Arlington Street, on the 24th Sept.,
1717, my god-mother being my ‘aunt Dorothy.’ In 1725 I went to
Bexley, in Kent, with my cousins, the four younger sons of Lord
Townshend, with a tutor, and continued there some months. The
next summer I had the same education at Twickenham, and the in¬
tervening winters I went every day to study under Mr. Weston at
Lord Townshend’s.”

Lady Townshend died on the 29th March, 1726, leaving Dorothy,
aged 12 ; George, 1 1 ; Augustus, 10 ; Horatio, 9 ; Edward, 7 ; Mary, 6.

* By tbe marriage of her eldest daughter, Anne, to the Rev. Maurice Suckling
she became ancestress of Horatio, Viscount Nelson of the Nile.

f Secretary of State, September, 1714, &c., Ac. ; quarrelled with Sir Robert
Walpole and retired from public life ; died at Raynham.

Her will, dated 18th May, 1725, was proved Ist Feb., 1731-2, — P.C.O.
Bedford, fo. 56.

The death of her eldest sou, George, is thus given by the To%cn
and Country Magatine, vol. i., p. 448, 1769 : — “On the 6th of August
the Hon. George Townshend. Esq., in Park Street, Qrosvenor Square,
in the fifty-fourth year of his age, one of the Admirals of the White
Squadron of His Majesty’s Navy, and uncle to the Bt. Hon. George
Viscount Townshend, now Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.” His will,
dated 5th August, 1769, was proved August 12th (P.C.C. Reg. Bogg,
fol. 294), by his kiusman, William Suckling, sole executor, to whom
he left “ all my pictures * in my parlour ’’ (in his house in Park Street,
in the parish of St. George’s. Hanover Square), “also all those over
the mandlepiece and round the Beaufet in my room ; also my gold
snuff box with my mother’s picture in it, my gold watch, and my
mourning ring which I had made for the late Hon. Horatio Town¬
shend, with his name round it. To my niece, Charlotte Townshend,
after the death of the Hon. Mrs. Oowper,^ in whose possession it now
is, my diamond ring.”

This Charlotte was the daughter of his brother, the Hon. and
Rev. Edward Townshend, D.D., Prebendary of Westminster, installed
Dean of Norwich in 1760. She was married at Lambeth Chapel the
12th May, 1773, to John Norris, Esq., of Witton Park, Norfolk.
Mr. Norris, who was founder of the Norrisian Professorship at Cam¬
bridge,^ was first married, in 1758, to a granddaughter of Sir John
Playters of Sotterly Hall. Suffolk, by whom he had one son, who died
from an accident in infancy. Mr. Norris, inconsolable for his loss,
never after visited Witchingham. where he resided, and the house
which he had there built was chiefiy pulled down.

The following is the inscription to his first wife in Witton Church,
where a cherub draws aside a marble curtain from a tablet which
rests on a pile of books, whose titles show whence the quotations are
taken : — “ Elizabeth Norris | wife of John Norris, Esq. | and daughter
of John Playters of Yelverton, Esq. | Left this world Dec. 1st, 1769,

* There are several portraits extant of Admiral Townshend — one by Rosalba
(in the fancy dress of a Lucar with a turban and furred jacket) were among the
pictures left to his executor. Another, almost identical, was in the possession of his
Drother, the Dean. A third, in Court dress, belonged to the Horatio Townshend,
for whom he made the “ mourning ring.”

quotations are probably derived.

incapable of the office. The Act provides for the issue of a certificate,
under the hands of the minister and churchwanien and two credible
witnesses upon oath, to be delivered either into the Court of Chancery,
Court of King’s Bench, or Quarter Sessions, at the time of taking the
required oaths.

We do not remember to have seen one of these certificates until
the other day, happening to pass the shop of Mr. Whittaker (dealer
in antiquities of all kinds) of Sidney Street, Cambridge, we found
the parchment document (printed below) exposed for sale. The
proprietor kindly allowed this to be copied for reproduction in the
Eatt Anglian. It is rendered speciall}’ interesting owing to the fact
that it bears the autograph signature of the Bev. James Bentham, the
author of the valuable Uistory of Ely Cathedral.

The form, which is in the usual copper-plate script type, all the
blanks being neatly filled in, is in spotless condition, as if only recently
taken off its file. _

REPLIES.

PiFLER (pp. 308, 339). — Is this word correctly stated ? In Mr.
Walter Rye’s Glossary of Eatt Anglian Words, founded on Forby(Eng.
Dialect Soc.), is the following (p. 163) : —

“ PiFLER {Pipe-filler). — A child who in weaving fills or winds the
thread on the pipe ready for the weaver.”

Whether of the three — Porby, Johnson, or Rye — is answerable
for this limited interpretation {'•^pipe-filler") does not appear, but it
manifestly falls short of the localized meaning, if indeed it is not

QUERIES.

Shihpling.— There are five or six parishes of this name in
America, and it seems probable that they who gave the name to
these places either came from this Norfolk parish or from Shimpling
Thorne in Suffolk. I should be glad to find out if any descendant of
the name and family of the old emigrants is living in these parishes.

THE DESECRATED CHURCHES OF NORWICH
PAST AND PRESENT.

To the g^ief and consternation of all who love Norwich, the City
of Churches, and particularly value the associations of the past, stiU
another of the ancient ecclesiastical structures which are the glory of
East Anglia, appears to have received its death sentence. Having by
culpable negligence fallen into a state of disrepair, the interesting
fifteenth century church of St. Peter at Hungate has, by the exercise
of authority vested in the Consisturial Court, been doomed to what
is termed dilapidation, preliminary, we take it, to extinction. In
these degenerate days, when we are content to transform the
consecrated gpround of our churchyards into what we are pleased to
term “pleasure gardens,” “recreation grounds,” and “playfields,” it
can hardly be a matter for surprise that further indignity is offered
to places set aside from common and profane use, when the churches
themselves are similarly treated, and what thall be the end thereof 1

It is inexpressibly saddening to hear even the suggestions that
are put forward witli a view to bring about the dismantling of this
consecrated building, and to observe the spirit of utter hopelessness
which appears to possess the minds of those who ought to be particularly
concerned with its maintenance. With regard to the hammer-beam
roof — a particularly good example — it would be well to bear in mind
the experience of one at least who acquired a roof of like character.
The difficulty of adapting a roof of this kind to another church is
well known ; an instance — and it is we fancy not a solitary one — is
recorded in the Eaet Anglian (new series, vol. iii., p. 14). We are
inclined to deprecate a proposed that has been made, that the Com¬
mittee of the Castle Museum at Norwich should acquire this timber
roof for a proposed annexe at the Castle ; this would necessitate such
incongruous alterations as to completely spoil its character, and besides
it might prove an expensive business. To assume that this interesting
church, together with its fine roof and other adjuncts of archeeologicfd
importance and value, cannot be retained in a satisfactory state just
where John and Margaret Fasten, and the good citizens and churchmen
of old Norwich have placed them, does not argue much either for the
Church life, or the antiquarian spirit that surely ought to be looked
for in such a city.

Why Norwich churches should be handed over to those who throw
stones — metaphorically or literally — we are at a loss to conceive. Is
not Norwich safeguarded by an efficient police ? particularly is not
the church of St. Peter at Hungate overshadowed by the Cathedral ?
and are its influential forces powerless ? We venture to think that
it is not so much the church, in its present condition, that is a disgrace
and scandal both to Churcli and city, as it would be if the church
were completely wiped out. To talk of proceeding to “ dilapidate the
structure reverently ! ” and applying the proceeds arising from sale of
the organ, lead, &c., to pay for the cost of dilapidation, is both arrogant

and presumptuous, and those who are a party to such a sordid trans¬
action incur a rery grave responsibility. A parish should of course
possess its own church intact, and if it is not wanted, it ought to be.
Churches in danger of being soon numbered with things of the past
— 8t. Peter at Hungate, SS. Simon and Jude, St. Mary Coslany, and
St. Swithin, are conspicuous instances — were not so long ago centres
of Church life, and no very great alteration other than change of
incumbents has taken place to account for so serious a development.
Of late years the church of St. Peter Southgate has been legally
ruinated ; St. Mary the Le.'^s has fortunately been preserved, having
been acquired by the descendants of the French Hugenots, the
Swedenborgians, and the Irvingites, respectively, for the purpose of
Divine worship.

A reference to Blomefield’s Hittory of Norfolk (vol. ii., p. 525)
acquaints us with the conduct of Bishop Parkhurst, who unwarrantably
desecrated the church of St. Mary in the Marsh. The actual words
used are noticeable : — “ Ulterius nos Johannes Episcopus antedictus
Ecclesiam B. Mariee in Marisco suspendimus, profanamus, ipsainque
structuram dictee ecclesise per nos suspensam et prophanatam ad usum
Ecclesiae nostrse Cathedralis conferend’ et convertend’ descernimus.”
In Blomfield’s time the scanty remains of divers other ecclesiastical
buildings were standing, among which may be named St. Edward’s
Church (on the west side of King Street); St. Clement at the Wall
(in Conisford) ; St. Bartholomew (Ber Street) ; St. Crouch, and others.
Fire and pestilence appear to have been leading causes of the destruc¬
tion of ancient churches ; no instance known to us seems to imply
actual disregaid or neglect. In the time of Edward III. there were
fifty-eight parochial cliurches. &c.. in Norwich, besides the cathedral
and numerous extra-parochial chapels, anchorages, &c. Churches
were not destroyed in pre-Reformation days without just cause (as
when St. Michael’s Church in King Street was taken down in 1360,
and the more imposing church of the Austin Friars, dedicated to
St. Mary and St Augustine, with its Scala Cali, erected in its stead).
Or, if a church happened to be so demolished, it was with some sense
of wrong doing, which sooner or later called forth an act of reparation.
Bishop Herbert Losinga. for j)urposes of his own (the extension of
his monastery), pulled down St. Michael’s Church on Tombland, to
make some amends for which, he placed upon the site a stone cross and
the effigy of St Michael In further expiation he built St. Michael’s
Chapel on Mousehold Hill.

We do nut hesitate to affirm that the destruction of one ancient
church after another (particularly in this restless age) is a loosening
of the tie that links the past with the present; it is a form of dis¬
solution to which we are particularly averse, and find it hard to become
reconciled to it in any one of its stages. We trust a way may yet be
found to save the venerable, and, by many, much-venerated churches
of Norwich from the hands which should be stretched out to save and
defend, but which, in the present aspect of tniiigs with regard to
St Peter at Hungate, are unmistakeably those of the destroyer.

A CRYPTOGRAM & STENOGRAM FROM SWAFFHAM PRIOR.

The Cottenham cypher, which appears in the Ea»t Anglian,
yol. z., pp. 325-6, can be illustrated from a MS. account book in the
possession of Mr. Alliz of Swaffham Prior. It is now nearly two
years since Mr. Alliz submitted the book to me for investigation.
With the ezception of two passages therein, which I have so far
failed to interpret, I was able without much delay to return the MS.
to Mr. Alliz with complete ezplanation.

The book was originally the memorandum book of one
Thomas Barber, Parish Clerk and Cobbler of Swaffham Prior. It
contains entries of baptisms, marriages, and burials; accounts of
credit for boots and shoes, and of disbursements at Reach and
Stourbridge Fairs; certain entries of profit and loss on his sheep
and fen allotment ; a transcript of Charles II. ’s “ Proclamation
against vicious, debauched, and profane persons” (1660); a disci¬
plinary question submitted to the Presbytery of Swaffham ; and
certain entries of the Manorial Court, of which Thomas Barber was
apparently the clerk. Its dates lie between 1654 and 1701, the later
entries being in a hand different from the earlier.

The distinct interest of the book lies in this. Many of the
entries aro either wholly or partly in shorthand; some others are in

cypher, and that cypher is the same as the Cottenham cypher. The

dates of the entries in cypher run from 1672 to 1693, more than 200
years ago, which helps to fiz the approzimate date of the Cottenham
book. But the key to the cypher is of the simplest ; and to my mind
needs no such involved ezplanation as that given on p. 325 of the
present volume. The nine numerals, 1 — 9, represent the five vowels
and four liquids, in consecutive order, thus (y being taken as
equivalent to »); —

THE BAST ANGLIAN; OR,

Thus the cryptogram is usually applied in this MS. to loan
accounts. The stenogram is used for current accounts and manorial
entries. I have not yet ascertained to which of the seventeenth
century systems of shorthand this one must be referred, and the
difficulty of reproducing shorthand transcripts hinders me from
giving specimens. The symbols are arbitrary, ungraceful, and chiefly
angular, and it is apparently a mere matter of convenience as to the
order in which they are written. Thus '* Freeman ” is stenographed

m^n; “land,” ndl; “Henry,” “H'; “Waters,” tWrs; “Heffer,”

fHr; “fen,” nf; “Fitch,” tchF. In the MS. the shorthand is
quaintly mingled with longhand, and thus it was that I obtained its
solution. The following will give some idea of this admixture, the
italics representing the position of the stenogram : —

h. b. w‘. h. b. harl.

Will* Rolfe turrendert 9 ac. of h. land to John Cures.

John Wattrt s. hit high fen part to John Woodrough ^ hit Heires
for ever.

Jamet Sharp surr. one acre land to hit lord.

Of the two pieces in stenogram, which I have not transliterated,
one is a longish bit of prose, the drift of which I have not yet caught.
The other appears to be four lines of bee«lore, though I may be in
error. But certainly the dates May Sth and May 6th are given. I
shall be grateful if any information can be afforded by any Eatt
Anglian reader.

Among the longhand entries are the following : —

“ 1665. For ye Robbery charged upon Swaffham & Reach :

£. «. d.

3 8 8
2 1 2
10 6 8

£15 16 6 in all.”

“ 1665. Meade the sonne of Roger Rant Esq'* and Joanne his
wife borne the (erased, but like the 1 4th) day of August & having bin
privately baptized was on the 20'*' of August brought into the Congre¬
gation & was declared a member of the Church.”

On a mutilated page : —

“ Whether or noe the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper may
lawfully be administered in an unpresbyterated Church.

“ It is resolved affirmatively.

“ The first argument is taken from Christ’s command, Doe this
in remembrance of me : all Christ’s commands are to be observed,
even in an unpresbyterated Church, unless there be a dispensation
from Christ to the contrary : the charge that Christ gave Himself to
His Apostles — Matt. 28, 19, 20 — was to teach th . . . they shall baptize

to obserre all thinn whatsoever I have . them: now to

administer the Lord^ supper we have an express commandment, &
no dispensation that I know of to lay it aside in unpresbyterated
Churches, but it is the Sin of the Church to be out of order, therefore
the argument is weake.”

From its place in the book I had dated this 1658, and I find
from Shaw’s Hittory of the Church of England during the Civil Wart and
under the Commonwtalth, 1S40 — 1660, that this is almost certainly
correct. The Rev. Jonathan Jepheott was Vicar of St. Mary the
Virgin (Swaffham Prior) from 1633 — 1662, and after the ejection
of Richard Peacocke therefrom in 1644 he was instituted to the
Parish of St. Cyriac and Julitta also, and he is returned in 1656 as
“minister of the SwafFhams.” Some of the subscribing ministers
met and “occasionally acted separately under the title of the
‘ Eastern part of the Association of Cambridgshire.’ ’’ Ezekias King,
Rector of Fowlmire, seems to have been the leader of the Association,
which endured from January 20th, 1651^, to August 3rd, 1658. The
supervision to be exercised by the eldership over the “ regulation
and management” of the Sacraments was much debated by the
Associations throughout England between 1653 — 1658. The above
entry refers evidenUy to some local discussion upon this very point.

SOME NOTES ON THE FAMILY OF OATELYN
WITH EXTRACTS FROM THE PARISH REGISTERS OF
KIRBY CANE, NORFOLK, ETC.

The Parish Registers of the old flint Church of All Saints, Kirby
Cane, date from the year 1536. According to Blomefield’s Norfolk
(vol. viii. p. 31), “This lordship was purchased of the Copledick
family about the 36th of Elizabeth by Thomas Catelyn of Lakenham.”
He was a grandson of that Richard Catelyn, High Sheriff in 1531,
whose patent to bear arms is dated 1553,* Alderman of Norwich, &c.,
and son of another Richard Catelyn, Sergeant at Law, one of the
Commissioners to try the rebels in the reig^ of Queen Mary.
(Monument in Honningham Church, erected by his widow, Barbara,
daughter of John Spencer of Rendlesham). Thomas Catelyn, who
was second son of the Sergeant, married Judith, daughter of Edward
Ellington of Theydon Bois, Essex, was lord of Win^eld Castle in
SuffoTk in 1604, also Hastings Hall and Whitfoot in Irmingland.
He was succeeded at Kirby Cane by his son, Richard Catelyn, who,
by Dorothy, daughter of Sir Henry Nevil of Billingbere, Berks, was
father of Sir Nevil Catelyn, knighted by King Charles II., at

The following grave stones are in the chancel : —

** In Memory of Mary, daughter of Sir Robert Houghton, and
first wife of Richard Catelyne of Kirby Cane, Esq., by whom she had
two sons and two daughters: Thomas, the eldest, a man of great
hopes, at 21 was captain of a troop of horse for King Charles I., and
slain by the rebels at the second Newbury fight, 1644 ; Mary the
eldest daughter, married Edward Ward of Bixley in Norfolk, Esq.,
and died without issue ; Robert and Judith died young. She died in
1633, in the 45th year of her age.”

“In Memory of Judeth, daughter of Edward Elrington of
Theydon Boys, in Essex, Esq., and wife of Thomas Catelyne, Esq.,
who dyed in 1615.”

“ Exuviae viri plene memorabilia Rici Catelyn, Armigi, vitam
exuit A® .^tatis 79, A® 1662.”

According to Blomefield : — “ Sir Nevill Catelyne is buried
in a vault which he built several years before his death, which
was in July, 1702. Also Mrs. Elizabeth Catelyn, his daughter,
was here interred in 1685, as was Mrs. Phillapa Culpeper in
1719.”

Mary Bluis, third wife of Sir Neville, remarried at All Hallows,
Bread Street, London, on the 1st May, 1704, to Sir Charles Turner,
Knight and Baronet of Warham, Norfolk. Sir Charles, was son of
William Turner, Esq., of North Elmham, by Anne, daughter of John
Spooner of that ilk. “ In his youth he spent several years in France,
during which time the edict of Nantes was revoked, and the unhappy
protestants persecuted in the most cruel manner. This determined
him in every station and season to oppose the schemes set on foot for
the introduction of Roman Catholicism into England.” He was M.P.
for the borough of Lynn, as soon as he was qualified by age, and
served without interruption in every Parliament from the Revolution
till his death, in the three first with Sir John Turner, Kut., of Lynn,
his uncle. He was a Commissioner of Trade, and one of the Lords
of the Admiralty in the reign of Queen Anne, and in the reigns of
Qeorge I. and II. a Commissioner of the Treasury, and in the latter
reign one of the Tellers of the Exchequer. In the 13th of Qeorge I.
he was made a baronet.

His first marriage is thus recorded in the Vicar General’s register
of marriage allegations : — “ Charles Turner, junior, of Lindford
House, CO. Norfolk, about 23, and Mrs. Mary Walpole, spinster,
about 16, with consent of her father, Robert Walpole of Houghton.
27th February, 1688-9. At Houghton.”

She was buried in the chapel on the north side of the chancel of
the Church of St. Mary Magdalen, Warham, in April, 1701, aged 28.
Sir Charles Turner's portrait, by Richardson, hung in the supping
parlour at Houghton. In the private accounts of Sir Robert Walpole,
for the year 1717, is an entry under August 3rd: — “Paid to
Mr. Richardson, painter, for drawing your honorables Sir Charles
Turner’s, your brother’s picture, £86. 0«. Od.”

Despite the fact that Warham Hall was “ considered to be in
the finest position in the county, standing on the brow of a gently

rising hill, backed on the north by fine plantations, looking down
over a beautiful winding vale,” &c. {Norfolk I'our), Sir Charles
Turner, after his second marriage, lived chiefly at Kirby Cane, and
his second daughter, Elizabeth Turner,* was married there in 1726,
to Mr. John Fowle f of Brome Hall, one of the Commissioners of
Excise.

Inscription on the tablet in Kirby Cane Church : — “ This Vestry
was built in the year of our Lord, 1738, by Sir Charles Turner of
Warham in this County, Knight and Baronet, out of a pious and due
regard to the memory of his second Lady who was daughter of

Sir William Blois . Whose body lyeth in a vault under the

Vestry near to the body of Sir Neville Catelyn, her first husband.
Dame Mary Turner, wife of Sir Charles Turner, was buried in this
vault the first day of September, 1738.”

Sir Charles was buried at Warham, the 24th November, 1738,
aged 72. His will, dated 5th Jan., 1737, was proved in London (1738),
desin d to be buried by his first beloved wife. He devised his landed
estates to his nephew, John Turner (who succeeded to the title), left
money to his grand -daughters. Mary, Dorothy, and Anne, daughters
of his deceased son, John Turner, Esq.; to his daughters, Anne
Suckling, widow, and Elizabeth, wife of John Fowle of Brome (his
executor), money. Anne Suckling, bis eldest daughter, in 1730,
became the widow of Maurice Suckling, D.D., Prebendary of West¬
minster and Rector of Barsham in Suffolk. Her only daughter,
Catherine, having married the Rev. Edmund Nelson in May, 1749,
died at Burnham Thorpe, the 26th December, 1767, aged 42, five
days before her mother, the said Anne, who deceased at Burnham
Thorpe, the 5th January, 1768, and was carried to Barsham for
buritu.

There are several armorial tombs in St. Nicholas Church, Lynn,
to the Turner family, notably to Sir John Turner at whose decease
(on June 7tb, 1780) the title became extinct. This Sir John in
Sept., 1758, with constables, &c., went to the Grammar School at
Lynn to arrest Eugene Aram, who was executed for murder in
August, 1759.

Tablet in St. Mary’s Church, Bungay, to — ” Mr. William Spence
of Kirby Cane, Norfolk, who died 1st Feb., 1725. A faithful servant
to the honorable Sir Charles Turner and his lady of Kirby Cane
thirty-seven years. Aged 57.”

EXTRACTS FROM THE WILL OF JOSIAH 8TUBBIN
OF OFFTON, 1686.

He was patron of the living (rectory) of Naughton, near
Hadleigh, and is commemorated by a slab in Naughton chancel.
He died in 1686, aged 63.

Josiah Stubbin of Ofiton, Suffolk, gent., will dated 16th Nov.,
1686. To wife Elizabeth annuity of £20 payable out of his copyhold
messuage at Layham, held of the Manor of Netherbury Hall, and
then occupied by Clement Martyn. To eldest son. Josiah Stubbin,
messuages at Offton and Billston [Bilderston]. Also to him when
eighteen, “ my Silver headed cane, my Silver hilted Rapier with the
Silver imbroidered Belt and my gold Seale Ring.” Certain property
in successive reversion to son Edmund Stubbin, son John Stubbin,
daughter Elizabeth Stubbin, daughter Ellen Stubbin, daughter
Bridgett Stubbin, and lastly, Edmund Chapman, Rector of Lamarsh
(Essex). To son Edmund messuages at Nawton [Naughton] bought
of Sarah Stubbin, widow ; also the living of Nawton. To son
Edmund Stubbin “ My Imbroidered black fringed Belt, My inlaid
Sword, My Gold Mourning Ring, my Jappan Cane with a Silver
head.” To son John Stubbin messuages at Offton, and ” My Buff
Belt, & best Case of Pistolls.” To daughters Elizabeth and Ellen
messuages at Shotley and Chempton [Chelmondiston]. To daughter
Elizabeth ” My diamond Ring with Six diamonds in it.” To my
sister Sarah Lawrence, and to her children, Mary Lawrence and
Josiah I^awrence. Will proved at Ipswich, 30th Dec., 1686.

A portrait of Josiah Stubbin (the testator) is in the possession
of his descendant, Mrs. Charles Newman of Hadleigh, formerly of
Kersey Priory. The canvas is 3 ft. 4^ ins. long by 2 ft. 8 ins. wide.
On the back is written ” luly, 1668” — the month and year in which
he married Elizabeth Grimwade of Offton. The picture, which seems
to be the work of Sir Peter Lely, represents him seated in a chair
covered with scarlet leather and studdra with brass nails ; he looks to
the dexter side. It portrays a middle-aged man of stern, almost fiery,
countenance, wearing a brown wig and the court dress of the period :
black coat with white lawn sleeves, white point-lace cravat, tie of
narrow black ribbon knotted in front, and broad gold baldrick
(? of gilded leather) over right slioulder with sword attached. This
picture is not mentioned in his will, but having been painted at the
date of his marriage, it may have been a wedding present to his wife.
It is, however mentioned in a rough draft will, dated 1814, and now
(with other Stubbin papers) in my possession, of his great-grandson
John Stubbin of Higham, solicitor, who calls it “my great-gprand-
father’s portrait.” Mrs. Newman possesses many other interesting
relics of the Stubbin, Brand, and Sparrow families — miniature
portraits, old probates and other papers, &c.

Of Josiah Stubbin’s three sons, Josiah, the eldest, lived at Offton,
but his line became extinct before the end of the eighteenth century ;

Edmund, the second son, succeeded his father as patron of the living
of Naughton, and is commemorated by a slab in the chancel there,
dying probably without issue; John, the third son, carried on the
line. He lived, first at Layhani, and afterwards at Sulley’s Farm (an
old manor), Haydon, where he is said to have built the present farm
house. (This farm now belongs to Mr. Charles Thomas Partridge of
8towmarket). About 1714, John Stubbiu married Elizabeth, daughter
and heiress of Richard Partridge of Holton St. Mary, who was fifth
son of Robert Partridge of Holton Hall. They had a large family of
sons and daughters. Their daughter Bridget married the Rev. John
Brownrig^ Leake, who held the livings of Offton, Nettlestead, Willis-
ham, and Naughton. Of their three sons, John and Josiah Stubbin
left descendants, and Partridge Stubbin of Ipswich, surgeon, inherited
the estate of his grand-uncle, Nathaniel Partridge of Holton, and died
unmarried. John Stubbin, the eldest son of John and Elizabeth,
married three times : ( I ) Ann (? Ram), by whom he had issue ;
(2) Amy Brand, a co-heiress, who died without issue; (3) Elizabeth
Newman of Kersey. By his third wife he had an only child, the
Rev. Newman John Stubbin, M.A., Rector of Somersham, who
married an heiress, Martha Sparrow, lady of the Manor of Somersham,
and decended from the Sparrows of Gosfield, Essex. A portrait of
her brother, Thomas Bernard Sparrow, in the uniform of the East
Essex Volunteers, is in Mrs. Newman’s possession. The Rector of
Somersham had two sons — the Rev, Newman John Stubbin, M.A.,
who succeeded his father as Rector of Somersham and his mother as
lord of that Manor, and James Stubbin of Birmingham, solicitor, who
both died unmarried — and two daughters, Mrs. Rolfe, and Mrs.
Travis of East Bergholt, co-heiresses to their brothers. Mrs. Travis
was mother of Mrs. Charles Newman of Hadleigh, who has thus
inherited the portrait of Josiah Stubbin painted in 1668.

The descendants of the second John Stubbin’s first wife, (Ann
? Ram), and also those of his brother Josiah, remained at Raydon
until late in the nineteenth century. One of the latter, Robert Stubbin
of Sulleys, married his fifth cousin, Harriet Louisa, daughter of John
Partridge of Shelley Dairy.

NOEMAN TYMPANA AS REPEESENTINQ CHUECH
DEDICATION, ETC.

Norman tympana, displaying quaint symbolism or enriched
sculpture of varying character, placed with so much advantage over
some principal entrance to not a few parish churches, lends itself
with peculiar directness to distinct treatment. The subject of early
religious symbolism is little understood, and we are constantly meet¬
ing with such phrases as “it seems to imply,” “it is a probable
allusion,” &c., &c., in the process of investigation of this branch of
early art.

Mr. Keyser has for some considerable time greatly interested
himself in the interior decoration of our churches, and it was, we
cannot help surmising, by a very natural process that he turned his
attention to outside ornamentation, which occasionally, as when a
painted consecration cross made its appearance on tlie tympana, pre¬
sented a peculiar attraction. But while Mr. Keyser in his sumptuous
work on Norman tympana* confines his attention mainly to subject
examples, drawn out with more or less elaboration, he has not
hesitated to note and occasionally portray simpler designs, notably
those in which the embellishment of a cross occurs. We cannot help
wishing that he had pursued his investigations somewhat more closely
in direct relation to the consecration cross as a leading feature in the
symbolism. We attach considerable importance to this latter aspect,
believing as we do that it is in this direction we may look for at least
an elucidation of the object which was most likely before the designers
of the strange symbolical carved work which we occasionally meet
with over Norman doorways, viz., the desire to give effect to some
fanciful interpretation of religious truth or Church legend that had
an intimate connection with the consecration or dedication of the
church. The actual form of the ordinary consecration cross, as we are
accustomed to observe it, crops up again and again in the sculptured
stone of the Norman tympana, and these instances occur, as we have
stated, where a plain stone was once similarly ornamented with such a
painted device. Many of the difficulties in regard to the meaning of
some at least of these singular representations, are, we think, capable
of being more satisfactorily investigated and understood when viewed
in such relationship. To give an illustration of our meaning : — The
well-known examples at St. Nicholas’ Church, Ipswich, are un¬
doubtedly dedication stones from two of the ancient town churches,
viz.. All Saints and St. Michael, of which fact Mr. Keyser seems to be
unaware. They have no other connection with St. Nicholas’ Church
than that of late introduction there.

In these dedication stones, as we take leave to term them, the cross,
in some form or another, is usually to be seen with the oddest

surroundings, in which animal and tree life is the prevailing feature.
These designs in themselves are rarely quite intelligible, but the cross,
t.g., as introduced in the quaintest form of the Agnut J)$i symbol, is
an unmistakeable indication of intent and purpose. The trampling
of the Cross of Christ by the power of evil may, in some way, he
discerned side by side with the principle of its elevation. In this
way a long past age found instruction on lines that were at once
agreeable and strictly in accord with the somewhat wild fancies of an
earlier faith, from which they and their fathers had been delivered.

Mr. Keyser has omitted to make use of known church dedications
as a means of investigating the symbolism which is so frequently
puzzling. We can give no better instance of the advantage of this
course than is to be found in the case of Stow Longa, Hunts. The
tympana there is finely figured in Mr. Keyser’s book, but the
explanation, adopted from Mr. Homilly Allen, is quite crude and
far fetched. Recognize the fact of St. Botolph being the patron saint
of the church, and the subject of the sculpture becomes clear, and
invests it forthwith with peculiar interest.

The East Anglian examples are few. Those in Norfolk are
Mintltn and Tottenhill (which have a place among Cotman’s Architec¬
tural Bemains) — the latter only is illustrated in Mr. Keyser’s work. It
has a “ consecration” cross within a circular cable border, interleaved
below and extending east and west. At Mintlyn a similar circle or
medallion appears originally to have had a cross carved or painted.
In Suffolk, beside the displaced Ipswich tympana at St. Nicholas,
there are examples at Santon Downham, and Wordwell (2), that
over the south entrance has a favourite design — a tree in the centre
and an animal on either side ; the other, now preserved in the nave,
is extremely puzzling, rude in execution, and very curious. It has
been variously interpreted. For our own part we are a little surprised
not to find the Resurrection suggested. It appears to us far more
probable than the suggestions put forward hy Mr. Keyser. The carved
work in the centre (the cross appears) may depict the displaced grave¬
stone ; the figure with extended hands, one rising from the dead ;
the other figure on the right, holding out a garland, would then find

apt illustration in the words “ Be thou faithful unto death . a

crown of life.” In Cambridgeshire, besides the well-known examples
at Ely, we have an instance at Dcxford St. John of a most singular
cross ; at Famfisford the interest centres in a remarkable series of ten
arches on low massive columns, illustrating the life of St. John the
Baptist, to whom the church is dedicated. Others are at Kirtlino
and Bottishah. The Essex examples are at Great Canfield and
High Ongar.

We must not omit to add that Mr. Keyser incorrectly assumes
that the niche figure over the north transept door of Norwich Cathe¬
dral is that of the Saviour ; it represents Bishop Herbert Losinga,
without doubt.

Mr. Keyser has accomplished a great work most worthily, and he
is entitled to our best thanks.

IPSWICH FREEMEN.

The great number of applications received during the last year or
two for information concerning the Freemen of the ancient Borough
of Ipswich, and especially concerning those of the sixteenth, seven¬
teenth, and eighteenth centuries, has virtually forced upon me a task
which ought long ago to have been undertaken by other hands than
mine. I mean the task of compiling, from the Borough Records, as
complete a list of freemen as it is possible to make.

The mass of materials which Bacon found it necessary to work up
in the compilation of his “ Annals ” was so enormous fta to leave him
little or no room for the freemen in the making. And since Bacon’s
day no one would seem to have turned his attention seriously to the
matter, with the sole exception of the late Mr. Grimsey. That
gentleman’s little-known booklet is, however, only an approximation
to what he would doubtless have made it had he lived longer than he
did. It introduces us to the freemen of Ipswich about the year 1722,
and from that date down to the time of the compiler’s death, or there¬
abouts, supplies a fairly complete record of those more or less
distinguished persons who were made free of the borough by
presentation, but only by presentation. The long roll of those who
claimed their freedom by patrimony, of those who earned it by hard
servitude, and of those who found it to their interest to obtain it by
purchase, finds no place in the book. Yet these, and their predecessors,
were the very men who built up the trade and the wealth of the town,
and made Ipswich what she is to-day. And it is they, rather
than freemen by presentation, who deserve to have their names
perpetuated.

This, then, is the task to which, although a rank " forrainer,” I
have ventured to set my hand. So far as I have yet carried it
through — from the year 1572 to 1750 — I have found it enjoyable
because of its novelty, and wearisome because of its monotony and
magnitude.

It is in the Minute Books of the Great or General Courts,
which were used to be holden at frequent intervals throughout the
year, that the record of the freemen’s admissions is, in the main, to
be found. These books begin about the fourteenth year of Elizabeth
and run without break to the year 1818. There are earlier ones, but
they are not consecutive. The admissions occur in no particular order
in the books, but are found mixed up with all sorts of business
relating to the government of the town and its “ liberties ” and
jurisdiction. Here and there a marginal note, such as “ Turner free,”
or “ Bugg free,” gladdens the weary eye ; but more often than not
even this slight assistance is wanting.

Every freeman came into being, as such, by one of -four different
ways. If he was the son of a freeman, born a/ter his father’s
admission, he claimed his freedom by patrimony or right of birth.
If the son of a freeman, but born before his father’s admission, or if
the son of a non-freeman and born either in the town or beyond its

THE EAST ANGLIAN ; OR,

liberties, he could claim by servitude, but in order to make good such
claim he must first have served a freeman of the town fur at least
seven years as an indentured apprentice. Servitude without indenture
established no claim. When he could claim on neither of these
grounds — patrimony or service — there was nothing for it but to throw
himself on the mercy of that shrewd body the Great Court.

Such was the alternative that sooner or later overtook the
" forrainer ” who succeeded in edgpug his way into the town and there
surreptitiously “opened shoppe.” For a time the authorities did not
use that street. Then, just when our “forrainer” was beginning to
congratulate himself on his thriving trade and successful strategy,
down swooped the bailiffs upon him and clapped up his shutters.
Hemonstrance was of no use. The trade of the town was for the
freemen of the town, and for the interloper to make further show of
his wares, without leave first had of the Great Court, meant fine or
imprisonment, or both. In these dire circumstances the unhappy
foreigner did the only thing left to him to do. He made his way to
the Court and there humbly “ prayed to be admitted to the freedom of
the towne for a reasonable fyne.” The Court seldom objected. On
the contrary, they extended a gracious welcome to the stranger, who
left the assembly, after taking the freeman’s oath in solemn form,
with his pockets lightened by fifty, twenty-five, ten, or five pounds of
good and lawful money, according to the measure of the Court’s
“good liking” for him. Sometimes, though very rarely indeed, in
the case of early foreigners engaged in trade, the liking of the Court
went so far as to make the applicant free freely.

The freemen created by these various methods, between the years
1572 and 1750 number upwards of 3,500, and since the parentage of
the person admitted is in the majority of cases recorded, as also the
name or names of his son or sons if he then had any, it will at once
be seen that the list is of the utmost value to those interested in
family history or engaged in genealogical research. Witness the
following entry, taken almost at random : —

13 June 1693. Thomas Toply, son of Thomas, admitted by
patrimony. Sons Ury, Thomas, Timothy, and Charles.

Or the following, one out of many similar “runs” of entries: —

13 March, 29 Eliz. John Heme, by service. No eon.

11 April, 19 James I. John Heme, son of John, by patrimony.
No son.

19 July 1658. John Herne, son of John, by pat. No son.

13 Nov. 1688. John Herne, son of John, by pat. No son.

EAST GAMBRIDQESHIRE IN THE BEGINNING OP THE
SIXTEENTH GENTURY.

We give two wills of inhabitants of Tadlow, Gambridgeshire,
with an agricultural population of about 1 50. The date of the first
will, 1538, is the year in which the mechanism of the rood of
Boxley was shewn in London. In that year also the contents of the
phial of Hales were announced to be coloured gum. Both wills

382

THE EAST AEOLIAN; OK,

come from Tol. i. of the Archdeaoou’e Register. We give details,
modernising most of the spelling : —

yard. High altar of the Church of St. John Baptist,* 2«. To bells,
20d. Reparation of Stepull,f 3«. 4d. Mending of Church lane

she shall see that I be brought honestlie to the erthe.” Wife and
brother Thomas Executors. The latter to have 6«. 8d. Sir Robert
Ajshby, Vicar, Supervisor. Witnesses : — Henry Collvyll, James Colvyll,
William Wallpull. Proved 9 May, 1538 (p. 116).

Dec. 21, 1542. John Eydman. Body to be buried within the
Parish Ctiurch of St. John the Baptist, Tadlow, at the “ sowght syde
of the Chancell dore.” To makyng of great bell, 10*. To the Church
for lyiog in it, 6<. 8d. To son William 4 of the best oxen, 2 of the
best horse, the com and the wheat that is within the inner yard,
the carts and cart gear, plows and plough gear, and all that ever
belonged to them, all tilth of his land in the field, the lease of the
years that he has in the lord’s land, all the implements that be within
the house, brasse, pewter, lynen, woollen hangings, and all that ever
is within except 3 featherbeds. To his daughter Margaret 20 quarters
of barley, 10 of them she hath already, and 10 more she shall have;
also the best fetherbedde and the best bolster and the best covering.
To son William, the second fetherbed and the bolster. To Thomas
Hynton the elder, the therde featherbedde and the bolster. To
John Pety his servant, a quarter of barley. Every godchild a
bushel of barley or 4d. in money, every godchild of my wife the
same. To Robert his son, 5 comb of barley. Residue to son
William, who is executor. Witnesses : — Robert Ashby (Vicar), Thomas
Hynton, Thomas Lownde, William Hodsonne, Richard Witters,
Robert Kydman. Proved 1 March, 1542. “In. xvij*' xxj* ij"* ’’
(p. 192).

In John Thompson’s will the fact that oxen are desig^nated by
name may shew that they were well looked after, and that they were
used for farm work. The bequests to servants shew a kindly state of
things between employer and employed. These were days when
cottages did not exist. There is no mention of masses. The wills
seem to have been drawn up a few days (perhaps) before death.
What was the exact work of the supervisor ? Does any authoritative

* The church is held to be dedicated to St. OUm.

t The church seems always to have had a tower.

;}; At present the church is separated from the road by a field.

list exist of the dedication of parish churches in this county ? In
Ky<iman’s will does south side of chancel door mean the door in the
chancel screen ? There is no sign in the walls of a chancel door.
Each will contains a bequest for the church bells. What is the exact
meaning of " tilth of land in the field ” ? It is interesting to note that
fourpence was the value of a bushel of barley in 1542. Does that

I'ustify our saying that 4d. in 1542 equals 4«. 6d. in 1905? Were
requests to godchildren general ?

INTRODUCTOKY.

THE LAY SUBSIDY OF 1 EDWARD III. (A.D. 1327).
CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

A valuable list of the Subsidy Rolls (so far as they relate to
Cambridgeshire), compiled by Mr. W. M. Palmer, M.R.C.8., appeared
in the Ea»t Anglian, vols. vii. and viii., and is probably the most
complete summary relating to this class of document that has been
put forth by non-official hands. To this list Mr. Palmer prefixed an
introduction, which leaves little to be added here by way of preface.
The Rev. J.B. Pearson has similarly laid us under no small obligation
by his contribution to the Cambridge Antiquarian Society Proceeding!,
vols. viii. and ix. of papers on the Cambs. Assessments and Subsidies.

The most important Subsidy roll we possess is undoubtedly that
of 1 Edward III.,* and with the exception of two previous rolls {temp.
Henry III. circa 1250) it is the earliest.f The membranes are dis¬
tinguished by the letters A, B, C, D, &c., and are beautifully written.

For the elucidation of parochial life in a far-off period, few
documents can vie with this early Subsidy roll. It is a directory of
the inhabitants of the several villages in the various Hundreds, and
forms a veritable storehouse of names, which discovers to us the
characteristics of the people, their occupations, position, etc. It
generally affords us a view of the conditions under which they lived,
and gives an insight into their surroundings. To possess a picture of
village life of well-nigh 600 years ago is an inestimable advantage,
while the genealogist may delight himself, as far as fancy or
prudence dictate, in discovering missing links or remote ancestry.
Unfortunately he will find that comparatively few of the names of
1327 have survived! The philologist, it must be confessed, has more
to glean in this particular field than the maker of pedigprees, but the

general student may here find not only men, but manners and customs,
trades and callings, and a variety of commonplace features that
exist under the simple guise of names of persons, and the tax they
were individually called upon to render to the king’s grace.

The subsidy was a direct levy to uieet the king’s requirements.
It was an arbitrary and irregular process misnamed a “benevolence.”
The 1 327 tax was a twentieth of personal income imposed on moveables
(cattle, crops, stock-in-trade, &c.), and the amounts as assessed appear
singularly small. The subsidies of a later period were, it would
seem, in respect of lands, moveables or wages, or still later, simply
“ goods.” * The king would issue his writ and invest his officers
with the requisite authority, and forthwith the community became
burdened with the imposition of these irksome taxes. It is not to he
wondered at that a tumultuous rising of the people frequently resulted.

The mode of valuation is hardly clear, and certainly, as to goods,
would have been specially difficult to carry out, except that goods other
than farming stock and the like must at the time have been very
scanty. Probably in some such way as that indicated in the interesting
King’s Lynn Roll (printed in Norfolk Arehaology, vol. i., pp. 334) the
assessment was effected.

The Cambs. roll appears to be much more particular than, «.y.,
the Norfolk and Suffolk rolls in the statement of the amount of tax
payable, being in most cases reckoned to *' the uttermost farthing.” f
Other subsidies and tax rolls in the Public Record Office set out the
Nona or ninths, the fifteenths of moveables (quindeeima), and the
tenths of rents (deeitna), and extend from the thirteenth century well
on into the seventeenth century. The several rolls necessarily differ
in their arrangement and character. In 1336 a twentieth from the
nobility, a tenth from the citizens and burgesses, and a sixth from the
clergy was imposed, while merchants were taxed on their goods.

Dr. J. J. Muskett, to whom the Eaet Anglian is greatly indebted
for the transcript of the Subsidy Roll, informs us that the Suffolk roll
of about 15,000 names is three times as long as the Cambridgeshire
roll. Further, that the Cambs. names are of less personal importance,
but more interesting and dissimilar.

EDITORIAL.

In order to overtake arrears it is purposed to issue the next few parts of
the Eeut Anglian at intervals of not less than three weeks until such time as
the exact publication is recovered. The January part will be issued almost
immediately.

Mr. H. O. Evelyn White will contribute the contents of an early Rental
of Butley Abbey and other most interesting and valuable mierellanea (genea¬
logical, liturgical, &c.,) contained in an unpublished roll of that Suffolk
monastery. Mr. Evelyn White, besides continuing the Cottenham Charters,

* The tax varied from a 40th to a 10th, bnt 'generally it was a 1 6th fur
counties and a 10th for towns. In 1334 a composition was agreed upon as an
equivalent.

t The Suffolk Roll (I Edward III.) for the Hundred of Lackford, Suffolk, was
printed in the Eaet Anglian, vol. v., p. 87, Ac.

also farniahes an extension of the text of the Cambridgeshire Domesday
Book, accompanied by a transcript of the late Rev. William Bawden’s un¬
published translation (B.Mus., Add. MSS. 27,7b9) of that great survey,
which Mr. Ronald Livett is good enough to supply. Mr. Livett will also
conclude the Herringswell documents. The remainder of Mr. L. M. Biden’s
Fee- farm Rent papers {^Hawley Schedule) is in type, and the general subject
will be continued by the Editor, who also hopes to proceed with William
Dowsing’ 8 visitation of the Cambridgeshire Churches, &c. The Rev. J. R.
Olorenshaw will supply extensive notes on the Suffolk Church and Parish
of Qedding UlluitraM), and the continuation of the Rattlesden Extent of
1277. The Rev. W. Jones will continue the Cambridgeshire Wills in the
Hundred of Armingford. The transcript of the valuable Lay-Subsidy of
Cambridgeshire (1 Edward III.) will be continued by Mr. J. J. Muskett, to
whom the Eatt Anglian is particularly indebted. Among other contributions
that may be looked for we may particularize Gleanings (Nostrums, &o.,)
from a Norfolk Commonplace Book of the Eighteenth Century ; Memoranda
relating to the Norwich Dutch Church, its Registers and Act ^oks ; Notes
on Henry Shelton and his kin; Rental of Ickworth Manor (a.d. 1627) ; A
Missal of the Thirteenth Century and other Norwich liturgical books; E^x
Feet of Fines, &c., Ac.

The Editor feels that it is scarcely necessary for him to add anything
further, save to emphasize, as he does with renew^ earnestness, the remarks
made on page 159 of this volume. With the year 1905 the Eaet Anglian
attains its majority as a continuous publication in the hands of the present
Editor, and enters upon the eleventh volume. What its future may be is
impossible to forecast, but perhaps it may not be found impossible to carry
it on to the completion of volume xii. Cannot the many who desire its
continuance be more active in rendering the much-needed assistance? If
even this result is to be attained some such help is absolutely necessary.

REPLIES.

Binders’ Qotches in Eastern Counties (pp. 143, 356, 372). —
There is a fine earthenware jug or “ gotch” preserved in the Church
of St. Andrew, Halstead, Essex. It is said to have been made in the
neighbouring pottery at Gestingthorpe. It is still in use, but has
been slightly cracked near the bottom by an attempt to bore a hole
in it, apparently for the purpose of inserting a tap. It will hold
4^ gallons of liquid, and measures 14^ inches in height by 44 inches
in circumference round the largest part, tapering to 32 inches at the
base and to 13 inches round the neck. There are two small handles,
one on either side of the neck. On the sides is this inscription : —

“ Be merry and wise and breaks me not
For I am but an earthen pot.

As we sit by the fyer to keeps ourselves warme
This pot of good liquor will do us no harms.

If you be Wice, Fit me not twice at one sitting.

In summer heate and winter cold
To drink of this we dare be bold.”

THE EAST ANGLIAN; OE, NOTES AND QUE&IES, BTC.

In 1658 there were five bells in St. Andrew’s Church, so the
initials in the second line of the inscription were no doubt those of the

- 0. F. D. Speblinq.

An article in a recent number of 7'he Reliquary (April, 1 905) on
“Hingers’ Jugs ” mentions an example at Beccles bearing these lines: —
“ Wbea I am filled with liquor stroug,

Each man drink once, and then ding dong.

Drink not too much to cloud )’our Knobs
Lest you forget to make the Bobbe.”

The jug at Hinderclay has this inscription : —

“ By Samuel Moss this Pitcher was given to the Noble Society of
Bingers of Hinderclay in Suffolk (viz.) Thos. Sturgeon, Edw. Lock,
John Haws, Rich. Buddock, and Bd. Chapman. To which ^ciety he once
belong’d and left in the y' one Thousand seven Hundred and 2.

“ From London I was sent

As plainly does appear.

It was with this Intent :

To be fil’d with strong beer.

Pray remember the pitcher when empty.”

The Braintree Bingers’ Jug (of which an illustration is given)
has the^following inscription : —

“Bbayntee Chuech.

“Jonathan Harvey, Church Clark, Daniell francos. Will. Neuard,
John Everett, Bich. Bennett, Will. Neuard, Jun', Samuell Heridance,
Sam. Bennett. Made at Stock,* 1685. B. x Y.”

The jug, which holds about four gallons and is 1 ft. 6 ins. high,
is formed of reddish clay, covered by a black glaze, and is ornamented
with roses.
